So I was next to a Camaro earlier and it got me thinking. What is the point of large diameter wheels? Is there some point where wider wheel widths need the larger diameter for some reason?

No. Although I have no doubt people will come of with some bizarre quasi physics to say why the reality is they just look better. People started to equate low sidewall tires with "performance" and the wheel got bigger and bigger. The top performance cars for decades all ran on 14 inch wheels.
