Surely going up to 7" just makes the wheel stick out more due to the offset,
which means the scrub radius is larger meaning the wheel has more leverage over the steering, read more bump steer and torque steer and generally poor handling.
I think a wide rim on a narrow tire might prevent the tire deforming as much when loaded up around a corner, of course it's deforming for a reason and stopping it flexing probably means it lets go all of a sudden with less warning. The same could probably be better achieved by running higher tire pressures...
