Any larger and the section of the tire is to small to drive on a city street. I live in Chicago and this time of year the buckled pavement and potholes can turn a nice aluminum wheel into a paperweight. I know, most of us would never drive our Camaro this time of year.
As far as performance wheels go, less mass means more fast. Look at the Corvette, nothing bigger than 19".
Them 19's on the Corvette have way more mass than the 21's on the camaro. But yes too big is bad, too little isn't good either.
