If you were going for a bit of a California Rake aesthetic, perhaps a same width but taller aspect ratio might accomplish that without overly messing up the overall handling, but it certainly won't improve anything other than having that specific look.
What tires and wheels are you running now?

Same subject but a different take on it would be chassis rake, via changing the roll center axis. Lowering the front end or raising the rear would accomplish this, but whether it would help or hurt the handling is something I'd have to defer to the guys that have done the measurements and sorted it out on-track. Chassis rake is a useful and important handling tuning facet, I don't recommend changing it just for funsies.

That all makes sense. Could you give me an example of "California Rake?"
