Answer is quite simple really.

Modern cars have such high hood / belt lines and tall profiles that the wheel gap needs to be minimized in order to look good.

Late 20th century cars and especially sports cars / exotics tend to have a much lower profile body which wouldn't have made the larger wheel gap such a big deal to remain optically pleasing.
