The 16's I had (still have actually, they are in a shed) were 225/45/16's and actually really improved straight line acceleration with the extreme light weight and smaller diameter (thus increasing the gear ratio, same as you would with a new final drive) and were actually better than stock for daily driving and back roads driving with the slight increase in sidewall. But they are only OK on the track because of less overall grip.

Are the GC plates solid from top to bottom or do you have a long bolt that is only supported at the car's body and the top of the plate?

There is a plate with bolts welded on you can actually see in those pics.
