I agree why would anyone want anything other than a classic american car
The whole couch on marshmallows type.
Usually the basic answer is 15's wont clear brakes
in some cases 16's and 17's wont clear brakes as well.
Now on a car like the hyundai elantra touring where 15's easily clear, but they come with ACTUAL low-profile 17's.. Thats because the owner purchased the handling or premium wheel package. Usually they are also available with 15's.
All slight sarcasm aside, you have a good point for some vehicles but not others.. it varies on a car to car basis.

If you can get the used steelies, maybe 215/65-15 tired would work.
I looked it up, and it doesn't appear that 15's were offered in the 09 Camry.
