The stock GT model in Australia comes with 16" rims and a 205 tyre by default. I made the jump to an 18" rim and 225 tyres. Your claims of a "huge decrease" in performance is a load of horse shit. I've done my fair share of spirited driving and the main difference I noticed was with the tyres themselves as I certainly didn't notice anything drastic that would make me believe my 18" combo created a 'huge increase' in performance.
