20's and a spare?
 
so I seem to have a flat tire, I put my spare on but now the car is crooked, since the spare is smaller, is it ok to drive like that???

i wouldnt.. take the 20 to get repaired.. leave yout car at home with the spare on it.

is it on the front or back? If its on the front it will be okay but I wouldn't drive on it long (super camber issues) and the car will swerve bad. If it on the rear park it. Even though the car is limited slip, one tire will be slower than the other ( due to diameter difference) meaning the gears have a possibility of getting damaged. Let us know mike

It's on the front, I'm gonna have to ride it to the dealer, I had an appointment to get my car aligned for tomoro.....it's about 30 mile drive :/ hope it goes well, there's nothing I can really do.

my question is ... i have 20's also....so if i put on that spare/cookie wheel/donut tire...you know the really funky one..... Are you able to Drive the car a short distance to repair it, this way your not leaving it on the side of the highway until the next day, or leaving it at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd at 3am in the morning.....

Can you just drive it the short distance

even w/ 20s. if you have the correct tire sizes then they should be the same diameter as the spare

its not like i've ever driven 300miles on a spare, right mike :)
