Some of the boxers, and other Ferraris of that era, used TRX tires, which required an odd-sized metric rim. Some were a little over 15" in diameter, others were a little over 16".
The boxer and TR motors did sit on top of the gearboxes but most of the big masses were fairly low. You do feel the mass if you start tossing one around but the same can be said of the early V8 cars. The TR was the most developed and the best handling of the bunch. You just had to drive it smoothly and the weight wasn't a problem. It had much better suspension than the earlier cars.
