Default Propeller Question

As the subject indicates. I have a propeller question. First, the "background" info. I'm breaking in an engine. The plane is a Top Flite Elder 40. The engine is an OS 46 LA. The original props I purchased were Top Flite Power Point 11*6. I was just at the "not so local" hobby shop (long story) to pick up another 12V starter, because my other starter is at our place up in WI. Anyway, I decided to pick up some extra props for it. I did purchase an 11*6 and didn't notice when I bought them, that they're wider. Wider blade and wider in thickness. They are JZ Zinger 11*6 but it also has a "W" on it, which I'm guessing means "wide". My questions are: Does it matter that they are wider? IS it bad or OK for that engine? Are wide props specifically for a certain type of engine?
I appreciate any help/advice.
Thanks,
Joe
