So a solution to the puzzle was given by snowsyncro. Run two 16" wheels on one side and two 14" on the other side.
This lets the front pinion shaft turn at the same speed as the rear pinion shaft, easy on the VC. A little more work for the open differentials but not too much for such a short distance.

Put one of your old wheels on the front, and one on the back. Put one of your remaining two good new wheels (or the spare you have) on the front. Drive to the tire repair place.

Easy peasey.
