Fatter tires and longer wheelbase will hinder cornering ability, but only if you're into railing corners and dragging knees.
It's also more rotating mass with the heavier wheel and tire, but you won't even notice it slowing you down unless you're a serious drag racer.
It'll turn and manuver in parking lots a little slower too.
If you just like to cruise you'll be fine and probably won't find any problems with it at all.

Sure, and you'de be fine with any type of riding with that setup. The bike would just reach it limitations sooner that way for any type of agressive riding...which most of us will never see.
It'll actually be a nice beach cruiser and straight line bike with the little stretch and fatter tire, they soak up the bumps a little better too.

It goes around here.
I've never seen a better group of strangers willing to help each other, and it's not just bikes.
Any info you need someone here has.

welcome ! That will be a good setup . you will notice cornering to be more like a harley but not bad just not good for a track

Not for what you want, you'll still enjoy it.

Never heard of a 220 tire ? Had a 240 on mine and it handled just fine, any wider might be a chore.
