Recent pedestrian 'safety' crash guidelines (which require windshield wipers to be concealed by the hood so pedestrian's don't get injured by them after one hits them with one's car) increase the height of the car's hood, and hence the hood-shoulder trim lines. All window bases are up higher, all trunks are now higher because of this line continuation.
This all sets up an unfortunate situation where the wheel wells need to look bigger to look proportionate to this larger side-profile (because of the hood, trunk line), and thus, wheels have to be bigger.
But yes, total conspiracy theory for big money for rim/tire companies.
