Something else to think about, and I don't think has been mentioned, is raising the gearing with bigger wheels is fine for top speed, but it will mean higher ratios in low gears, and any hills may be more difficult, as the 216 is not blessed with a lot of power, I run a 28hp Bedford (72bhp) and is the British version of a 216, so know what this is like.
