In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help.

Is a 6.5 inch wheel too narrow?

We picked up a 2013 V6 Premium sedan in the spring and winters tires/rims are going to be a must have item. I have been looking to find a set of OEM wheels but it seems to be nearly impossible to find a used set.

I found a set of steelies online today that I believe will fit (18 inch, 67.1 bore, 5x114.3 with a +42 offset) at a super cheap price. But these wheels are only 6.5 inches wide which is an inch narrower than the stock wheels. Will this make any difference? I found a set of winter tires which would fit the wheels are would be pretty much the same overall diameter (225/50R18.)

Will I run into any issues by running a narrower wheel?
