2006 Ford Focus ZX4 Automatic 101k miles

Hey. So having a issue here. I need to go out and doordash / Uber to make the money to replace my tire.

So for now I found a 15 inch ford focus tire 195 6515. That I put on my front driver side. And the front pass side has a 205 6516.

Is this going to cause any damage driving like this for a few days? 

I have like no other option. 

Moving it to the rear isn't an option right this minute.

Ai said would cause significant damage to the transmission and front diff. But im pretty sure ive seen people do what im doing countless times over the years. And never heard of that. Just wanting to ask some good mechanics like yall, to make sure. Figured AI maybe tripping. 

Let me know. Appreciate you all. Thank you

100% not OK

If you check with a tire size comparison calculator you'll see there is a large overall difference in those sizes:

Your differential may well start howling in protest and the car may be difficult to control. In other words, I would not do it.
