theres no conspiracy regarding any manufacturer trying to sell people wider tires. it's the general belief that if 10 is good, then 11 is better.

cars generally look better with a tire/wheel that fills out the corners of the car, as well as gives the appearance of being more aggressive.

conversely, mounting bicycle tires on a car in the effort of improving economy is a misnomer too...
