In general the same tire will run slightly flatter (lower) on a wider rim. The beads have to reach wider to hook up with the rim. That flattens the tire a little. The side walls shouldn't be much wider except maybe very close to the beads since in your case the tire is still wider than the rim unlike running a 23 mm tire on a 23 mm rim.
