Well, I think there is a pretty big difference between rims of different inner width. I think the key thing is to match the rim ID to the tire you use. You want less of a lightbulb shape to the tire, and more of a straight sidewall. If you have an 18 like you have with a 2.5 like you have, you have the lightbulb shape, and you need to use a higher pressure to not get the sidewall to fold over.
When I switch from narrow to wide, (or matched), I notice it immediately. If it worth new rims? Maybe. What I did was put the old narrow rims on my single speed with 2.1’s (for smooth/fast/lightweight), and the wides on my FS with 2.4’s. I want wider rims on the SS speed, though, and will switch when I have spare cash.
