aftermarket wheels ... and a flat

what happens when you get a flat on an aftermarket wheel?

can you run on the OEM spare tire? even if it's diameter is smaller than your aftermarket wheel?!

thanks!

unless you're running monster truck wheels as aftermarket, i can't see it being a problem.

i probably wouldn't suggest doing it for long.. as i think it would probably cause very uneven tread wear on both sides.

of course I wouldn't recommend running on your donut very long regardless of what tires you have on your car...not even the stockers.
