WI: Supermarine Spitfire/Seafire designed with wide track landing gear?

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

​

What if the Supermarine Spitfire/Seafire was designed with a wide track landing gear instead of it's original narrow track design?

L - R - Hurricane and Spitfire showing both wide and narrow track landing gear arrangements

How would this design change improve or worsen the aircraft?

Much obliged!
