Slightly bigger wheels and this would be spot on.

It's amazing how much smaller wheels used to be, Ferrari 328s from this era came with 16" rims now even my hatchback comes with 20" as standard and 21s as optional.

I have to be honest and say I greatly prefer the ride of smaller rims.

Anything more than 17s costs me thousands in punctures from potholes...

It might even just be the proportion of it, looking at the 328s, they have big arches even with the smaller rims whereas they're quite tight here. Thinking about it, lots of classics look great on minilites with big fat tires too.
