so i've been driving around with my steering wheel vibrating for the past few days untill i could get over to my friends house where i had my stocks stored. i swaped the bent rim for the stock. what i want to know is can this hurt anything.it's the front passenger side. i'm getting the rim fixed this week somtime so it's just short term. probably a stupid question, but just want to sure.

In my opinon I think in long term use it could hurt your axle if its a size jump but if just for a few days of light driving i dont think it would cause a problem

as long as the stock wheel's diameter is the same, or very close, as the 3 rims tires then you can drive like that for a while. if there's too much difference (exaggeration: think of 3 wheels on the ground and the 4th barely touching it) you can harm the ABS system.

i would just throw all stock wheels on and go for an alignment.
