There is more lateral flex in the sidewalls with a pinched tire compared to a square or stretched tire. This can negatively affect turn in and handling feel. If you don't track/autocross your car, then you would probably never know the difference.
The exception is the R-compoud tires like Hoosier A6 and Kumho V710. They have much stiffer sidewalls and the part of the tire that creates the bead with the wheel is actually inset compared to street tires. This allows people to stuff wide tires on skinny wheels without the same negative effects on handling as street tires.
i will be adding a 15mm spacer in the front though. my car handled better with stretched tires IMO but im digging the look right now. my bbk pops a lot more with black wheels.
You have anymore comparison shots? Even though it's cool and all I don't see why anyone would run skinny tires on a Z! The car does become less nimble, anti-driftable...but I'd take fat tire setup for a mountain run....sliding off a mountain isn't cool.
