These car do not have a very sensitive Active Handling/Traction Control system so most concerns I keep reading about are overblown, IMO. Lots of people are running square tire set-ups, without issues. Even more guys are running small fronts and really big rears for roll or drag racing, without any problems.Unless your front tires are taller than the rears, I doubt you will experience any issues with your car's AH/TC.
Bossdog's post made some very good points.

Street tires I can understand not liking the poke, race tires who cares because it's a functional thing.
C5Z rear wheels on the front with a 315 vs 295 vs 285 will have a varying degree of "poke". The silver car above looks like a 315-like poke. A narrower tier may not be so pronounced.

If anyone comes across this thread, if you are a fast driver driving at the limits frequently, a square setup WILL give you issues with ABS and hitting ICE mode due to the disparity between the front and rear diameters not having a difference (like intended stock). For this reason, I have had to delete my ABS system to have confidence in my brake pedal.
If you are a beginner to advanced weekend lapping guy, you shouldn't have issues. If you fall into a category above that, it may be wiser to stick with a staggered setup that conserves the stock sizing.
Just something to keep in mind

Running a 315 square setup on 10.5" speediness may be THE MOST common wheel/tire combination to run. Below that may be a 275/295 combo or 295/305 or 295/315.
