Transfer case Question

Let's assume you get a blowout in your xi, and put on a spare, that is say 2" smaller than the other 3, how far would you be able to drive? I mean, I rather carry the space saver kit than say a 19" wheel as spare..so, 20 miles, 100 miles, 500 miles, ???

you can get the e60 space saver kit
i believe it's 135/80/17 which is about the same rolling diamter as a 235/35/19 / 265/30/19 setup....

don't even try it
u give it just a little too much throttle and you will get a blown transfer case. i wouldn't risk it AT ALL.
