Is it OK with my ZF??...

One could argue that when you corner the differential is running at different speeds normally, but you really would not want to force that constantly by driving very far with tires of different diameter. And that is the key here, overall tire diameter, not width or rim size. FWIW you should be able to find a Mustang spare wheel with a tire that is close to you road tire diameter if you want to carry a spare.

For most of us it's a tow truck call (AAA membership is mandatory with a Pantera!) if its more than a tire plug and can of sealant can't fix.

Thanks,.. Yeah, the flat bed guy waves to me in traffic around here. We have met...lol...

What if you run two different size tires on the rear to limp the car home?... Will it work??.. Will it hurt or otherwise piss off my ZF??...

Doing this will get you home but it will also work the small clutches in your limited slip unmercifully. I wore out the LSD in our '72 doing exactly this using the factory inflatable spare, only 50 miles from home. Fixing the damage requires removing the ZF from the car, tearing it down, acquiring the three clutch plates per side and installing them properly, then reassembling and reinstalling. Unless you are familiar with the ZF transaxle, a cell phone and tow truck will be pennies compared to the cost of a pro fix!

I read you loud and clear Boss. Flat bed is the correct response... Thank you both for your help and advice, and Merry Christmas !!...

This was my plan, I found this in the back of a Crown vic. I had a pretty aluminum one but this was a tad taller. VERY Short term use per Jack.

It came to mind when I narrowly missed a bolt in the street. I thought could have my old stock wheel run out to me and then limp the car home. I guess I could just change both sides or call the flat bed...
