Clutch "chatter" might be a result of larger wheels...

Last monday I swapped out my 45lb Team Loco 17s with 235/45 tires in favor of my 41lb stock 15s. After driving for a week my car is much more responsive at launch and all gears and I've had absolutely no clutch chatter. I seriously wondering if the slightly heavier weight of the 17" wheels and the fact that the weight is further out on the rim, makes it harder on the clutch therefore increasing clutch chatter.

Does this sound feasible?
