That calculator you have is very thorough with showing actual bulge of tires pending the section measurements are correct & also account for caliper clearance.
I use a transmission speed/gear ratio calculator for speedometer accuracy & by how it affects gear ratio.
Most of my general experience is from actual hands on with different size wheel/tire combos.
Lots will fit under the Huge Z fender wells,,,it's just how the owner prefer's his/her look
Using the tire spec's from the tire companies takes time to look everything up. I use that calculator for a quick look for tires, and to see different rim combo's. Also for converting backspacing to offset or the other way.
