Hey,
Anyone know if Rims 16x6.5 be able to fit 215/40/16 or 215/45/16?

they will 'fit' yes, but you will have a lot of sidewall bulge. They tyres will have a tendency to squirm a lot under cornering loads. Go for 195 or 205 max wide for better fitment

Alexx is absolutely correct. If the rim is too narrow for the tread width then the sidewall becomes effectively softer and steering / handling response suffers.

that's as wide that you can fit under an EK anyhow much more and it's a pain...
