is saftey at all an issue?

With tires, I always try to stay within the manufacturers recommendations. The 6" wheel width we live with is a bummer as anything wider than the standard 205/50 is not rated to run on a 6" wheel.
In actual practice, as long as you are not an aggressive driver when it comes to cornering you should be fine. The sidewalls of a 225/45 are physically bent in at the wheel on a 6" rim. Under normal driving conditions this is not a problem but under extreme side loading conditions it is certainly not optimal.
