Can I use a different sized wheel as an emeergency spare? My son damaged the rims on both the driving wheel and the spare. I need to drive the car about 2 miles from my son's school to the repair shop. I cannot get a replacement of the right size for a few days. Is there a 15" spare that I can use instead of the 14" mini spare?
