Different Size Spare

OK, I know ... search. LOL! But I want your opinions, which I respect. My dealer installed 265/60-20's on my Limited (from new) and of course they didn't change the spare. They are about .9" taller and should turn around 640 revs per mile as opposed to about 657 revs for the stock size. How far is it safe to travel, baring locking the center dif, before the axle difs take a shit? That said, they installed them and didn't mention anything 'bout the spare. Should be their dime?

Should I bite the bullet and match the spare to the other tires. It should fit in the tub. I eventually intend to go to 17's in the stock size, but that is way down the road (right after I hit the lottery) and I would keep the original spare to match the 17's in diameter. Then I would have a brand new 20". LOL!
