line weight different than reel weight

What would happen if I were to use a 5 weight line on a reel made for 3/4 weight or 7/8 weight. There is a .2 ounce difference between the reels but the 7/8 holds almost 50 more yards of backing. I won't be catching any fish that would run through that amount. Also would there be any balance issues with the smaller or larger size reel.
