Thanks in advance!
In emergency situations, vehicles tend to pivot around odd tires. So, Yes!!, you may have a problem when you least want one!

Also, the diameters are different by 3/4". That will cause excessive wear in the drivetrain.

And if the vehicle is a AWD or if 4X4, when the 4WD is engaged, you could destroy the drivetrain.
