Wider Wheel Offset = Better Performance?

Front to rear track width ratio has a very pronounced effect on my 4th gen Camaro. Going up or down 1/4" on spacer thickness makes a noticeable change in the car's behaviour. I'm now thinking this is why my Z06 felt the way it did when I went to a square setup, it wasn't just the rubber.

Reviving this for more input from you guys
I have been driving car hard with MMR wheels with MPSS 19x345 / 18x285 and I find the stability/handling to be good.
But I noticed that I am getting very slight fender contact with one of the rear tires. I can't feel it but I can see it on the tire side wall where the tread ends. There is tons of clearance on the front wheels with 285 MPSS so not worried there.
The MPSS 345 that I have on the wheels now are 27.2 diameter/13.8 tire width/12.7 tread width
The NTO1 325 that I will be putting on are 26.73 diameter/13.03 tire width/12.5 tread width
Do you guys think the NT01 will give me a little clearance. Only need like 1/8-1/4 inch at very most.
Thanks
