Guys, I find this classic vs. modern wheel size 'debate' gives me headaches. It's interesting and mystifying at the same time... anyway, do you guys use some sort of calculator to determine final tyre width/diameter for a given wheel size or is it trial and error?

Nobody has mentioned 16" wheels yet. 15" is better looking to me but I'm sure 17" tyres perform better (comfort aside). But why no go for 16s? What would be the ideal width/profile/diameter for that size?

Thanks
