Effect of having 2 odd sized tires on front

I was out driving today and had a flat tire. I opened up the spare tire area and found a nice 165/80-13 inch tire that I didn't know was there. I also carry a 155/80-13 inch tire with me. The tires on the front are/were 185/70-13's off my stepfather's Celica. So after I got the flat tire off and the spare on I drove home about 30 miles. Would it hurt the differential to drive that far with 2 odd sized tires? While I'm talking about tires, what would the standard size tire for my 88 wagon be? I think it would be the 155/80-13. I picked up 2 used 155/80-13 winter tires today for 30 bucks to replace the front tires that are on the wagon now. The rear tires are 175/70-13.

same sized tires on the same axle, period. Odd sized tires will make the handling complete shit.
