Well, it's quite hard to tell if we don't know what type of springs/coilovers you are using.
16 inch wheels/tires (low profile or not) aren't THAT big and won't rub on most applications. It all depends on how low you are. Did they rub with the 15's? You should keep the profile in proportion with the rim size so you have the same rolling diameter.
That way you know it won't rub whether you have 15's or 17's.

Again, how would we know? It depends on how much you lower it, right? If it rubs, raise it a little. Simple.

Differences are negligible. Same as far as I'm concerned.
As with the rubbing issue. Since you are using those threaded coils, just drop it as far as you can until it rubs. Trial and error is the only thing you can do when you want to "slam" it as much as you can.
We can't tell you what will happen. We don't know how much your setup weighs. We can't say "Drop it 4 inches" because what does that mean to you? 4 inches lowering on the coil, doesn't necessarily equal a 4 inch drop. It's all trial and error with those things.
Good luck.
