Your muscle insertion points do not change by moving the feet in or out. What you have changed is the distance you have to travel with the bar so you are going to recruit more because you are performing more work. A wide squat and a narrow squat recruits the same basic muscles. I have seen IT Bands rupture with a stance that is too narrow with a weight that was too heavy.
