They were a decent deal, what are potential downsides?

The extra width means a larger traction area, which means that you will be apt to sit on top of snow, rather than digging through it. The serious filling of the wheel wells means that it will be easier to have the snow get really packed in. If that occurs in the front, you can do some damage when turning the wheel with packed snow in there.
