And you'll need a tire diameter that's not too far off either on the front or rear or you'll hit limp mode and your stuck anyway. So, find a rim, find a tire in the middle, need a spacer? Get the right size and don't forget lugs of the correct length that may or may not work on both ends of the car. Or decide on a front or rear spare and put run flats on the other end. Sounds like money without a really good solution the more I think about it.

I think I prefer limp home mode to walk home mode any day.

I would not use a spare in the trunk unless it was securely bolted down, you may survive a front end crash but getting hit from behind by a tire and rim may just be too much to endure.
