That's not really a wide looking tire any more. Pirelli are so hung up on the side look of their beloved 18'', that they forget they will look pretty narrow from the rear (and like wagon wheels on the smaller 2026 cars).

This is still less square than an IRL/Indycar rear tyre, which is 720mm x 350mm (14" section x 29" diameter). It will look fine.
Of course it would look awesome if Indycar still used 425/720mm (or 18" section x 29" diameter), but oh well, times change.
I can't remember why IRL started using narrower tyres than CART.
