well depending on what you are trying to accomplish that can be a good or bad idea. if you want to change your tires, it is likely the best compromise to keep the same size and just buy a better tire. that way your performance increases without giving up any of the fun natured characteristics we like. adding extra mass and sidewall flex isnt a good idea. its a good guideline to pick whatever tire size you want and then pick the biggest rim to fit the tire, not the reverse.
