Dangerous? Unsafe? There are lot of cars of similar power / weight with smaller wheel/tire
stock sizes. Though most of them are older ones (it seems that it simply is trendy, the newer car is, the bigger wheels and of lesser sidewall profile stock sizing is given by manufacturer. But is it for practical reasons, or because that's what buyers would prefer to buy? (for eg. looks reasons?)). I wouldn't claim that those are unsafe to drive cars. Yes, there will be more sidewall flex/less sharp turn-in, but also more comfort/cheaper and lighter tires, and some claimed that easier to feel/work with mass transfer on track. BTW, twins gazoo racing series on
dry summer tarmac tracks with 16x7 wheels - did they choose that size to have less performance / unsafer setup then well proven "most safe when fast driving" R17 wheels?
