Running odd wheels on a D3 as emergency spare

[Pome pilot]

I am looking at getting a second spare wheel for our D3 to take on longer journeys having recently had a puncture while heading inland and feeling somewhat vulnerable as no one away from the coast stocks 255 60 18 AT or highway tyres for that matter!
I haven't had any joy sourcing a matching 5V pattern alloy second hand but can get my hands on a different pattern ex D3 alloy wheel.
My question is: Other than looking odd, would odd wheels on an axle cause any problems with the car, as I had heard of some vehicles going into 'limp home mode' if odd wheels were detected.
Any advice gratefully received.

Same Rim size or same overall diameter is fine.

Suggest you ring this L,R. Place in S A ,08 83846933, they have all the wheels you will ever need and excellent to deal with.

What type/style rim you after. Post a photo & see who may have a spare ;-)

Pome,

I have a spare rim which you are welcome to borrow (you would not be the first) if you have a specific trip in mind.

Cheers.

Not sure about limp home mode but don't do it permanently on any car as I believe the different sizes cause the diff to wear out prematurely. It is basically constantly going around a corner, due to different overall heights hence diameters hence circumferences.

Thanks everyone for your responses and offers. I have attached a picture of one of our wheels below on the off chance that someone does have one of these surplus to requirements, if so please contact me.

Thanks also for the number of the place in SA who I shall also try.

Hello Warrick, I have just bought a D3 with a set of 5 17" rims and a spare set of 4 18" with tyres. The spare set are the same as yours and surplus to my requirements. I'm ready to part with the whole set if you are interested. I am in Darwin.

The last remote trip i took a tyre with no rim,air compresser and plugs.
My tyres are pretty new LT's,so took the chance.

i also have a spare 18" tyre and rim,same as yours if you want to borrow it.
