Though pulleys that don't spin anything but spin freely and are there only to tension belt, may aswell be oversized. But there is close to no gains to that, rather slight weight gains.

There is another method. Keep the crank pulley size same and oversize the peripheral pulley you want to underdrive. This method has the advantage to not underdrive all the peripherals. For example you can underdrive the alternator, but not the water pump.
