Need help with replacing one rim different size

Hey guys im about 1000 km away from home and i ran over a decent size rock and bent the lip of my 19" oem front rim. Thing is i got a brand new set of SF winnings waiting for me at home.

I do not want to drive the spare all the way home since its through the mountains and i just dont trust that thing.

Ive called all around and the best idea they have been giving me is to put a 215/55/17 mounted on a steel wheel to get me home.

What do you guys think?

I wouldnt want to drive on a spare for 1,000 miles.

I would just find a steel wheel that fits and make sure the tire is the same diameter as the one you are replacing. You can find tire diameter calculators on a google search.

Another option might be to look into a wheel repair guy. Usually they can do it the same day and it should only cost a hundred bucks or so.
