I can see 17-18" rims and 10 inches wide fine, enough sidewall flex to handle todays shitty roads and various curbs, speed bumps, etc.....

but just how do these cars with rubber band tires handle the everyday roads??
Mid Engine is a major advancement. Also, the rubberband tires don't have anywhere near as much sidewall flex as the taller ones. That means it's harder to roll off the tread onto the sidewall. Grip like no one's business.
