Has anyone used a 15" spare after 16" conversion?

Title says it all, I upgraded to 16" rims and tires and in a moment of financial conservitism I went with keeping one of the 15" tires and rims as the spare. Will it work for a short term solution...

1/2" on standard axle spacing is about 1.5% difference, while it's noticeable its not the end of the world.

Chances are if upgrading from 15" to 16" the 15's were OEM and will support the axle rating. The 16" combo should support more than the 15" combo and everything will be fine.

There are some more torsion axle TT's but they are still not very common.
