that is the conventional wisdom.
However I have seen many many cars (Cobra's) with 17" QUALITY rubber be completely embarrassed by a mere Mustang wearing 15" wheels shod with Avon CR6ZZ DOT legal tires.
In my opinion, and experience, a vintage Cobra, Mustang, or any vintage muscle car looks best on 15" wheels. With the Avon CR6ZZ tires you can not only keep up with modern 17" rubber, but you can pass them. The traction just has to be experienced to be believed.
