well, it all depends on what you want.

for example, the 4th gen camaros and their 16" salad shooters with 245/55/16s. HUUUGE side wall height mixed with a thin width. now compare that to say...the corvette, with 17" wheels up front and 18s in the back with wide, low-pro tires for maximum grip.

you throw in a larger wheel like we will more than likely be getting with the new camaro. at least an 18" i would imagine, and your tires get smaller on the sides.

my Z06 rims on my Z are wrapped with 275/35/17s and 295/30/18s
i increased the sidewall height on the fronts to balance out the car a little more front to back. also my wheels are 8.5" and 11" wide respectively. i would have gone with 315s on the rear or even 305s, but i got one hell of a deal on the 295s so i took it. plus i dont drag race on those wheels, thats what the ET streets are for. lol
