I think the tire would need to be low profile and belted for serious on road use.
Moreover, more width = less pressure, not sure that would be a good thing in this situation. Or maybe it would, no idea about that TBH, just thinking out loud. But 100% with you on the ride height and rollout thing, one less thing to worry about.
Anyway one of the things I like is precisely that this kind or car uses TC tires which are premount 95% of the time.
One day I'll find the guts (and the time) to run my F103GT in my local series, they're pretty loose about what chassis you run. Should be fun. I've always thought it would be a great car to teach myself some throttle control.
