You can bolt the subframes to the floor but it can flex quite badly, so best to spread the load with some thick alloy plate or similar, if possible

I would stick with the ones on it too.
They are colour coded and look fine. They also fit slightly higher than a group 2 ( I had those on my Pick up with 5x10's ) so you will not get any issue with the wheels rubbing the lower group 2.
I am sure Alan has been running the same size wheels and tyres on the BeanMachine for years .
