It won't be good.... If you can swap front to rear to keep a same size tire on the rear you'll be better off... Put the oddball spare up front..

In reality, it's unlikely that any two tires are exactly the same diameter and cars never travel in a perfectly straight line, so the differential clutch is always slipping a little anyhow; so a few miles at moderate speed isn't going to destroy anything.
Look at how many cars come from the factory with a dinky spare.

Do front wheel drive cars come with a "normal" clutch type diff? Or when a fwd Had "limited slip" is it a totally different design?
Every truck/SUV I've seen has come with a full size spare
Although some years of the viper came with a donut sized spare. I'll assume they came with LSD standard

I always made sure my spare was the same height as my drives.
