Hello Kat,
Here is a handy tire calculator 
http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp it will tell you the 
radius and circumference (and more) of your tires. David is right 
that different sized tires on the same axle can cause problems but 
your tires are only 1.2 inches different or only 4%. You should 
measure the tires (sideways, not from the pavement up) just to make 
sure because each manufacturer is a little different. With only a 4% 
difference in size I would not worry about using the spare to get 
home even if it's 500 miles but then definitely get the r&r'd 265 back on.
