You really would not need to limit distance as long as it is on the front and in 2wd. Biggest problem with different diameter tires is the differential. As the hubs on the front are unlocked, the axles would not be turning so no damage to the front diff can occur. Only other thing might be the sensors for the anti-lock brakes being confused due to different rotation speeds. It might through a code and turn off the anti-lock system.
