Is there any disadvantage about using higher amp fuses where it isn't necessary? For instance, if I used a 30amp fuse for my recommended 20amp stereo fuse-holder? I'm out of fuses and I have nothing other than larger amp fuses to use. Is there any disadvantage to leaving them in and not swapping them for recommended specs in the future?

Do you plan on over inflating your tires as well?
