Some people prioritize the look of sick wheelz over performance. Just a matter of personal preference. You would beat them in an autocross, but they would look cooler losing.

Why in the world would you want to "stretch" a tire like that?

If you want wider rubber can't you just buy wider wheels that fit the tire properly to accommodate the wider rubber?

Seems like stretching the sidewalls like that is unsafe and not how the tire is supposed to fit.

Please enlighten me?
Don't feel alone in your disbelief, I've never understood the desire of the stupid negative camber/dramatically stretched tires. IDGAF how cool the wheels are, the look gets lost in translation. / \= fail in my book....but I also think bags are for groceries so what do I know lol.

Does it have to do with age?

G35 Sedan: bought 100% standard, now heavily modified
The G is too low for sure. But the 350z sits fairly well and still has a lot of rubber. I don't see the problem with that setup. Assuming the suspension is well setup it should handle fine.

those are beautiful. The rears poke out a good bit in those pics. +18 poke or did you space them out a little? Those look like +12 fitment. Either way, they look great! 👍👍
