265/60 = 4.42
235/65 = 3.62
265 * 0.60 = 159
235 * 0.65 = 152.75

If your original 3 tires are fairly worn and your spare is brand new you'd be running pretty damn close to even, so your diff would probably be alright.

Even if that is the case, running with one side a different width isn't the best. Uneven braking for sure will be an issue.
