The tire life will go down some. It will wear a little funny. I doesn't really cause a major safety concern. I, however, wouldn't suggest doing it for very long. Sort of a temp thing until you buy new tires that fit right. And besides, if you want a wider rim, then you probably want more tire on the ground for more traction. If the tire size doesn't go up, you've not really gained anything...
