The offset is fine, but im not sure if 16/205 wheels will give you any problems.

7.0 with ET38 would be ideal from a weight balance point of view, but personally I think a 6.5 with ET35 would be a better choice for tyres.
 
ET35 will be sticking out from the guards in most cases for a k11. ET45 is standard and you might have trouble fitting a 7" wide rim with that offset. ET38 to 42 looks great on k11s and is a quite popular offset in japan with the Mazda MX5/Miata and Eunos Roadster so there's plenty of 4x100 rims in the right stud pattern floating around.

BTW Rota rims are cheap and nasty, I would avoid them if possible...

The real jap march use genuine brands like enkei, rays, 5Zigen (black racing), Watanabe, etc.

Rota is in the same class a Konig. A brand which wants to be percieved as high quality but really just specialises in imitation gear.
 
What offset you need will depend on the width of wheel though. If you get a 7.0 wheel with anything other than ET38 your weight balance will be wrong and you end up putting more load on one side.
