What issues or effects will I notice if I swap the wheels on the front of my car (currently 6.5 inches wide) for wheels which are 7 inches wide?
The wheels I am planning to buy aren’t available in a size narrower than 7 inches. I will be fitting the same size tyres (Yoko A048 195/50/16) as are on the current wheels.
The rear wheels are also to be replaced, but I will be able to purchase the replacements in the standard size, so no issues there.
Do I have to get the geo redone? Do I have to ensure that the rear wheels are correspondingly wider too? Will handling be improved in any way? Or will I ruin turn-in/feel? In fact, will I notice anything at all? Etc.
Looking for an inexpensive second set of rims. Current favourite is the Team Dynamics ProRace 1.2.
My plan is to transfer the Yokos currently on the car onto the TD rims for use on dry trackdays, and to fit some all-weather tyres onto the standard wheels for general road-use/wet trackdays.

The narrowest TDs are 7J, hence the question.
What do you do if its dry when you leave home and raining when you arrive at the track?
I agree with ^^^^^^^ keep it standard and keep your eyes peeled.
