In general, a street tire can use a maximum wheel width that's close to the tread width (not the section width). This is usually true within a half inch, or so. Those wheels look to be at least two inches too wide for the tires.

I guess every generation has a choice of how they like their ride to look. Just as a younger generation thinks the previous generation is Lame. I grew up a little late for the 70's tires hanging out from under the lips with the Big and Little look, but to old for the pro street look.
