Default Will Spare Tire Size Cause Problems

I am upgrading my S8 tires and rims to 255x40x19s. I am not replacing the stock spare which is a 245x45x18. There is a 1.3% difference in tire diameter. Would it cause damage to the diff/trans if I had to use my original spare?

Thanks
Shawn

You can't use a 245/40R19? it would be a perfect match in height.
