Big wheels, there's very little benefit unless you're running humongous brakes.
Thin tires, you get more precise steering response, less wiggle in transitions, and the *perception* of better handling, whether you have more grip from the tires or not.
But you also get a godawful ride. I once gladly gave up the extra performance from my 205/45 R-comps when switching to 205/50 tires (same model, just a different profile) for the extra cushioning and pothole protection they gave.

It must be noted that much wider tires actually have more sidewall per aspect ratio. But anything with a 35 aspect ratio is bound to be ridiculously short.
