Typically you can stuff oversized tubes into a smaller tyre without any problems. Just be careful not to get it pinched between the tyre & rim, since they sometimes bunch up. GIve it a pump or two to round out the shape so there's no wrinkles. Installing smaller tubes into a larger tyre on the other hand can result in problems as teh tube will be stretched thinner.
