Wider wheels?

[Herdie172]

Am i right in saying that 182's have wider wheels than the 172 5 spokes and turinins? If so is this one of the reasons why the 182 handles better than the 172? (Along with other things) Is that right aswell or am i just talking total rubbish?

Tyre's (default) are wider, wheels are the same iirc.

wider tires to improve handling.

Although the geometry is different to make up for the less keen turn in brought on by wider tyres.
