AFAIC a higher rubber shell slightly helps with suspension. Thin wheels help with aquaplaning/hydroplaning (strongly) and slightly with reducing consumption.

Most wide wheels available to consumers are thick, so that is a tradeoff that happens with the new design, although I might mix up physical ratio, price and street legality, due to having only looked at one car.
