I understand That the size of the brakes may also be a deciding factor in the size of the wheels?
Correct. Larger diameter brake sizes sometimes (usually) dictate the required wheel diameter so the caliper doesn't interfere w/the wheel center. But, that's a generic statement. For the typical budget style big-brakes (13" rotors) 17's can clear depending on the caliper size & wheel choice. Some "budget" (off the shelf) wheels won't clear. Most budget 18" wheels will clear a 13" rotor/caliper combo.

Go larger & you run into a similar issue on budget wheels.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
