I like the tire to have some sidewall bulge. It looks good and protects the wheel a little.
Both. Tires aren't designed to support loads with sidewalls bulging like that. The car will handle worse too. Each tire manufacturer has recommended wheel widths for their tire sizes. I also like some sidewall bulge, but not on a low-profile tire. Maybe on an old school 15" musclecar tire

Nitto recommends a wheel width of 11.0 inches for this 315/35-20 tire. Minimum width recommended is 10.5, maximum recommended with is 12.5.
