Key to making larger diameter wheels look like they belong on car is to use a tire that diameter is close as possible to diameter of tires that came stock of car. That way they fit wheel well same as or more like stock tires and wheels did.
Next if you want less of a modern look to the new wheels, look for wheel design that use convex spokes to get at least 1.0" to 1.5" inches of hoop or maybe more.
Some of the owner of cars pictured did the above even if they didn't realize they did it and why...LOL Easy to pick out those.
If you plan on keeping car, don't let cost make you pick wheels for car based on price compared to ones you liked best.
Everyone's situation is different and people's taste differ. Buy ones you like not ones others like. Look of wheels can make or break look you want your car to project.
Wheel design and choice of what color to paint a car are the two hardest choices I have to make when building a car, so I understand what your going through.
I can visualize changes to body I want to make, but I can't visualize what effect color choice and wheel choice I'm making will look like on car. I just try to stay away from what most of others are doing, and hope,,, I don't screw up too point I don't like what I've done to much....LOL There are always things I don't like when looking at my car builds from certain angles....
