Alas the forum lost one of the key Turbo contributors (RIP @Steve Weiner-Rennsport Systems ), I expect more detective work will be needed. May want to check in with @Kevin , @Bill Verburg , or @Basal Skull to see if they have such data in his storehouse of Turbo/933/964/RS/EVO knowledge.

And here is an old K16/24 thread that may provide more leads of others to reach out to (if still on rennlist).

Yes, I have the sizes. Please note that the K16 compressor is actually a K24 part number.
Think of the smaller brother. Many tuners have sped'd out the larger K24 for there hybrids.. Such as RUF..
I have a few on the shelf for rebuilds and upgrades. LOL

AFAIK there’s been different sizes, then when upgraded people fit larger compressor wheels.
usually k16 uses 47.5mm/65.94mm or the 40.5mm/60.5mm version impellers
k24 58.9/84.6mm

k16/24 hybrid 52.5/68mm

Well the K16 just refers to a family of turbochargers, so there are many versions. For example the 993 turbo only used one version, but the 996 I think used 4 different versions of the k16 during production , all with different part numbers. Many cars and makes have used k16’s, many with different kkk part numbers.
Then when modified, all sizes fit into the housings, billet, fin numbers etc to try to improve efficiency. And zero-clearance that Kevin is famous for.

That cant be right. 996 K24 have a 44/60 compressor. 58.9 inducer compressor would be huge and good for 500hp+ alone.

http://www.invasionautoproducts.com/95pocark2tu5.html

Comp. Wheel 53241232007 (Ind. 44.15 mm, Exd. 60.5 mm, Trm 6.15, 6+6 blades.
Turbine Wheel 53241205003 (53241205004)(Ind. 52.7 mm, Exd. 57. mm, Trm 9.3, 12 Blades

If that info is correct, then its the same size intake and exhaust wheels as the 996 turbo K24

That looks like a great site/resource, the 993 k16 have the similar compressor wheel size though according to the site?
