i cannot garantee that....

if you think about it, it will put excess stress on the wheel bolts over bumps, etc

would be ok for just moving the car about i suppose...

The weight of the car will be on the bolts instead of the hubs. So yeah, something might snap.

You may be fine but you're operating outside the tolerances of the bolts and for the sake of borrowing the right wheels, I wouldn't risk it. This isn't borrowing a battery and stalling at traffic lights, it's a wheel coming lose from a moving vehicle. So you'll bend all sorts of things on your car and bowl down whatever gets in the way of the runaway wheel.
