As long as the tread on the spare is legal then it'll be fine :afro:

Actually illegal.

It's to get you home, running two different sizes on the same axle is illegal.

That said I doubt you'd have any bother.

two different size wheels on the same axle is a MOT failure, but i cant see a problem.

also if its just around the corner, why not walk, weathers nice now... doesent happen oftern..
