Having a squared off rear is going to make you turn into the corner slower than normal. It shouldn't effect much at a decent lean angle cause you'll be past the edge but at certain angles and going over the edge of the square you might feel a bit unstable.
As for the hight of the front tire, like I said, its going to effect the geometry of the bike so you'll need to adjust the bike accordingly. If you're going to be doing some really spirited riding I would suggest getting the recommended track pressures for your tires. You can lose a lot of breaking power and have your front end lock up if it gets too hot with too much pressure in it.
