Most of those high performance cars in the world are also, mid engine, rear engine, and have 500+ hp and require a wider tire in the rear to handle the extra load of the motor being back there, as well as to be able to put any type of power to the ground.
From my personal experience with my e36 m3 track car I much prefer the square setup as it does help to eliminate the understeer and make the car more neutral or slightly over. The other huge benefit is tire rotations. My 1 is on order and when it gets here I am going to run either 18x8.5 all around 245/35 or 18x9 with 255/35's on all 4 corners.
