Default Florescent Bulb question

Get the T8's they will work this winter when it gets cold and they will
produce more light.

I just hung a florescent fixture in my garage and it has an electronic
ballast. The ballast says I need T8 bulbs (32 watt). I looked online
and found out these are 1 inch dia. bulbs. All I could find at the
local hardware store were the "standard" 32 watt bulbs, that are
one and a half (1 1/2) inch CW bulbs. (T12). The bulbs fit in the
fixture and light. But I am concerned that it may damage the ballast
or bulb, since this is not the recommended bulb.

Anyone got any comments?

Thanks
