2015 R tyre choices

So I need a new set of tyres and they've moved on a little since I last needed a new set but I have always preferred Pirellis and plan on sticking with them.

However, I was curious, after reading a thread on here that says the 1299/R wheels are the same size as the new V4 would I be able to stick the 200/60 section rear tyre on without issue?

A larger contact patch at lean and more grip sounds appealing but am I barking up the wrong tree here and no benefits to be gained?

Flame suit on.......
