When I stopped racing it, I converted my old Litespeed race bike from 622 wheels with 25mm tyres to 584 with 32mm tyres, as the chainstays on the Litespeed bow inwards, and the widest 622 tyre that would fit between the chainstays was 25mm. Because 584 rims are 19mm smaller radius, I could manage to fit a 32mm tyre. I can't say that I noticed a difference in the handling with the smaller wheels. With the lower bottom bracket I did have to avoid pedalling through fast corners.
I also have a disc brake minivelo, on which I run either 451 wheels with 28mm tyres or 406 wheels with 44mm tyres. Other than the increased shock absorbtion with the larger tyres, I don't notice any difference in the handling there either.
