I have a set of 16x7 TE37 +42 offset rims from my old car,

I have checked out the fitment guide and found out that front would be perfect, however since the width of my TE37 is smaller than the stock rim, there might be a problem..? (7" and 7.5" only 0.5" difference really...)

Can someone tell me the down side of fitting a rim a bit smaller in width than a stock rim but with same size tyres? (225 width)

can anyone help??

You can run 225's on 7" wheels, but I wouldn't run 245's on them (not that you could really do that anyway with the 42mm offsets you've got).

And with 225's (which I prefer to run on the 7.5" stockers anyway), lateral grip should be better, slip angles smaller on 7.5" vs. 7.0".

Personally, I'd rather have stock wheels than 7" 42mm TE37's. I'd sell them to someone who has a car they're appropriate for.
