The differential will make up for the difference, but you
should have the same size front and rear.  As on any four
wheel drive vehicle, you should not only have the same
size all around, you should replace all four tires at the
same time.  I don't know if this will actually damage the
differential, but it is definitely making it do unnecessary
work.  Just my opinion.
