That would make sense.

All I know, the wider rims feel a lot nicer than my old ones...of course, they're a much better wheel overall as well, so it's hard to judge.

I have 32mm tires on my beater which replaced 25s, but I'm not sure the size of the rim. The tire is too wide, but my usual top speed on that bike is around 12mph - I'm not sure I'd want to take any fast turns with them and the one flat I've gotten with them was a front flat and it was very noticeable once the air started coming out. Very, very squirrelly.
