Default Replacing 20 inch wheels with 18 inch wheels

I recently sold my 2006 Murano. I have a set of 2006 Murano wheels and snow tires for it. They are 235/65R18. I purchased a 2012 Murano LE. It has 20 inch wheels and tires-235/65R20. The 2006 wheel have no TPMS sensors like the 2012 wheels have.
My question is-can I run these 2006 wheels and tires on the 2012 during the Winter without affecting anything?
Thanks

Yes, no problem. Other than the tire pressure warning light light, diferent size of tires will not affect anything else.

Default 20 inch wheels

Thanks for your response. By my calculations, the 18 inch wheels and tires are only smaller than the 20's by about 1/8 of an inch in diameter. Since all four wheels and tires are being replaced, it should not be an issue. The tire pressure indicator light being on all the time may drive me crazy, but I don't think it will be that big of an issue.
I have had different opinions on this issue from Nissan dealers varying from "no problem" to "you could ruin your transmission and four wheel drive system".
The majority says that there will be no problem doing this.
Thanks again for responding and providing your expert opinion!

As long as all 4 tires are the same size it will not damage anything.
