You may have trouble licencing anything with the unit body modified.
The key to economy is low wind resistance, and open wheels are very draggy. Even when faired in, they have interference issues with the main body and any stock suspension parts.
It is getting hard to find 12" tires, especially good ones, and 13s help lower engine speed, so it is worth pushing the extra air.
