Beta alloys are et (offset) 34,   Delta alloys are et 40.
 
Therefore a spacer would be required,   don't use a 'universal' try and use a specific spacer to retain the centre location.
 
15' have no clearance problem.   16' I don't know, but suspect not,  assuming you make the right tyre selection in all cases.
 
You are also introducing a fair amount of harshness to the ride quality the larger you go,   as you are having to use lower profile tyres the larger you go.   Which is getting an awful long way from the stock 14'  65 profile.
 
Personally speaking,   large (ie 17') look wrong on a Beta

I would agree 15 inch look just right and don't cause too many problems from those I've seen. my mate steve used to have revolution 15 inch wheels with 195/50 x 15 tyres on his hpe and they looked the dogs wotsits
