Why would wheel size matter if they clear the brakes and the tires are the same outside diameter?

if you run a spare it should only be just for the drive home, then you should fix your regular tire. so why all the detail talk about running a spare??

His question is if it will work due to his dilemma is that he has 17" wheels while his spare is 16".

No -- he said that the OEM wheels are 16" and he's currently running 17's.

I do not know the answer myself, just trying to clear that up if it was overlooked.
IMO the only thing wrong with it would be the suspension? Just based on replacing a friend's flat accord wheel with a donut recently.
