That is terrible looking.
Yes wheels can be way too big. IMHO

IMO it's totally dependant on the car. It needs to be able to keep the right stance and have the tires actually up in the fenders.

22's may be a bit much on a 1st gen camaro, but the one I have seen on 20/22's was NIIIICE

Probably doesn't handle all that well but it looked great.

Building a 65 caddy, 22's are probably a little small

Want it to handle really well, 18's all around is the money setup.

Wheels are to big when they negatively affect the car or do not suit what the car does. Like 20's on a fast car is stupid as nobody makes a gripey tire. Or if you have to lift a car for the wheels.

wheels help make the car, for sure, just don't fall for that bling crap!!

I just got home from the drag strip and my 37 ford with M/T radial sportmans(the new pro street tires) that are 33x22x20's ran 9's.

We have 335x30x20 on the Cuda..They are Michelins that come on the Porsche Carrera GT..Michelin says they are they best streetable tire they make..they grip pretty dang good..we have 295x30x19 on the front..they are the front tires that also come on the Porsche. Good for well over 200mph..We looked at 22's on my 69 Camaro and the Cuda..We felt the best combo for looks was 20's rear, 18 or 19 front..22's just overpowered the car in our opinion..
