Short and sweet, no. A 16 will sit on the A-pillar.
Some people have managed to successfully trim blades down. Works on some brands. Search wiper blades. There is a HUGE thread on here about all kinds of options and theories.

You want frameless blades? Then I recommend the Bosch Marathons. You have to cut the passenger side one down, but it's easy using a Dremel; and they work great!
It's an easy process to cut one down, just remove the end caps, measure a few times to be absolutely sure you're cutting them down equally, and chop away! Re-attach the end caps and put 'em on! Cheers! M2

There are also many of us that have "upgraded" to the Honda wipers. I did that last summer and have been really happy. They work excellent even at speeds of 85 mph.

I have these on my Yaris for almost a year and they're okay. Good enough I got a set for the Camry as well.

Anco makes a frameless 14" for the passenger side, I'm liking them so far.
