Question offset question

hey guys. new to the evo world and have a quick question with offset.
i have advan rs rims 18x9 +22 and one of the my rims buckled in a pot hole. a friend of mine was kind enough to let me borrow a spare rim which is also advan rs but18x9 +29.
I have recently been driving around where the Rear driver side is +22 and Rear passenger is +29 rim with a 5mm spacer as a temporary replacement, however there is still a 2mm offset difference but i managed to keep all wheels with the same tire specs (kuhmo 235/40/180). Is the 2mm difference a concern till my replacment wheel arrives which is roughly 4-6 weeks? as long as i have same tire specs i should be fine right?

i have been driving around like this the past few days and i dont have a spare set of rims at the moment so this is my only option. thanks guys

As far as the diff is concerned? Not likely. Rolling diameter was retained. Handling might feel different do to the tracking change.

thanks for the reply. just had to put this up as i was concerned with the diffs, ayc etc.
as long as i am safe with that 2mm rear offset difference ill be fine, but what if you fellas blew a tire on a long trip and was forced to use the space saver tire?

You'll be fine mechanically. As Smike said, handling may be different but you gotta do what ya gotta do.
