The Type 3 front suspension is similar to the Beetle however instead of torsion leaves it uses a full width torsion bar. The lower torsion bar is used to suspend the vehicle and the upper torsion bar is used as a sway bar. The VW Type 3 front spindles are mounted with ball joints to the control arms which mount to the beam and torsion bars.

The ride is nice because the front and rear subframes are mounted in rubber.

I wouldn't go with wider tires. BMW i3 tires should fit on 19" MG-TC wheels.
