3 rims size 17 and the other..?

well i need some help...i able to get my hands on some stock eclipse rims the only problem its only 3...the other is crack beyond repair...i was wondering if i can just put a steelie 17 until the mean time but its so hard to find 1 in my area...Im still looking in Junk yards but i was wondering would another size like 16 would do??? i dont want the ride to be lop sided my tires on the eclipse rims are 215/55R17..If i a 16in steelie would the tire need to be a higher diamter like 215/60R16??/ i dont know....

Its just a temperary fix until i can get the 4th rim...

UR help is very much appreciated thanks in advance...

if you're that pressed to put the 17's on, why don't u just put 2 of the 17's on (either both on the front, or both on the back) and then just keep 2 of the wheels you have now on. that way you don't waste time and money on a temporary fix.

Why dont you cruise on what you still have until you get the last eclipse rim and get new tires. 215/55-17 is too large in diameter you need 225/45, 215/50, or 205/50. Get the 4th rim do it right and get the right tires.

had a buddy running 19's blew tire and used one of my oem 15's instead of a spare and it was almost dead even ride height when you go to tire shops like town fair they try to sell you something w/ the same overall size as oem tires just larger rims w/ lower profile but you will pro be best w/ 45 of 50 series profiles on your 17's

Nothing like going for a run with one high heel, and one sneaker.

update* i ran 3 17s and 1 16s 17 up front and 16 in the rear... i could feel the ride was off and when i finally was able to find the other rim... the 16 had sign of un even wear.. i drove a month with that set up.. i wouldnt reccomend it...im happy with my rims tho theey are stock GT eclipse rims...love em to death..
