i am sure they were 16's that i put in yours Stacey.
One thing you do have to look out for on the 5dr model is how deep they are.
You don't want to get ones too deep as i am sure the window would hit them on the way down.
Also... have fun trying to get the wires through.....

I didn't need any fitting adapters.
I got a set of pioneer speakers from Halfords (because you can take them back if they don't fit!!)
They were a real git to fit on the Polo as the whole door card has to come off! and you also have to trail wires from the back of the head unit.
(Note, if you have a BETA head unit, you only have "Front" output, so you have to join your new rear speaker cables onto the existing front ones.
Good Luck!
