if you alter the profile of the tyre you can keep the rolling radius the same - my 16's are the same as my 14's

That's noting to do with the size of the wheels, it's the size of the tyres that do that. If you are worried about this sort of thing then make sure you get tyres with the same rolling radius as is currently fitted.

Has anyone fitted original mk7 Ford alloys as above (hentpe post) to a Mk6 350? If so are they 6Jx16?
The reason I ask is that the Mk6 Ford alloys are 5.5J and I think the standard 350 wheels are 6J.
