Google Maps API v3: Can I setZoom after fitBounds?

Edit: See Matt Diamond’s comment below.

Got it! Try this:

map.fitBounds(bounds);
var listener = google.maps.event.addListener(map, "idle", function() { 
  if (map.getZoom() > 16) map.setZoom(16); 
  google.maps.event.removeListener(listener); 
});

Modify to your needs.
