I agree it would be a fairly easy conversion with the new tires that are available.
I am currently building a tt sonoma gt and the tire that i choose to run is 30.5 tall & 11.6 wide. I needed a tire that would fill the wheel well and not look kiddy sized.
In the end to get the correct stance took a complete re-do of the chassis. But the good news is the car your looking at already has had everything done to it. So in my book if the price is right - go for it.
