Isn't there a higher chance of springing an oil leak?

Although the machined area that the oil filter gasket contacts is pretty wide, I agree that (unless you have an emergency situation) it seems pointless to knowingly purchase and install a filter of the wrong size. Also, a wider filter means less space between the filter and the semi-circular housing that is adjacent, thus making the used filter harder to remove.
