If you oversize a fuse you run the risk of overloading the wires that are part of the circuit you're trying to protect. Once the wires are overloaded, heat is generated and eventually you could have an electrical fire.

The oversized fuse would trip at a higher amperage then what is required to properly protect the circuit. Always use the right size fuses or you run the risk of serious damage, injury and even death.
