Question about De Rosa Neo Primato fork

Hi,

I have recently Bourguiba a Neo Primato Genius in super condition (almost no used). The bike is really cool, I specially like the feeling of the geometry. I find it very snappy compared to my modern bikes (Supersix evo, and other ones) but not nervous at all.

The question is about the fork. This genius tube set model is from i guess 1999 or 2000 and has a unicrown steel fork. The fact is that the internal height of the crown is so low that even a a 25 tyre touches. I’ve seen Neo primato with more classical forks and I suppouse the cleareance is bigger, is it? if I could find one of those, would it change the geometry or the actual height and rake would be the same as this one?

Thanks in advance.
 
this is with a 25 tyre fitted. Looks like very slightly bigger might fit, particularly if a different brake was used
