Nearly two years ago I replaced the stock RFT tires (Goodyear Eagle LS2 245/40R-19) with conventional tires (Dunlop Signature HP All Season) on my 2012 550i Xdrive. I could not be happier with the results, handling is fine and the ride is much smoother/quieter. The only (?) downside is I have no spare wheel in the event of a flat. My question is; can I use a standard size wheel (say a 16" rim) as a temporary spare? Will running an odd size wheel for a short distance damage the Xdrive system?
