I have a Sienna 2009 CE. I got a flat tire and the tire is beyond repair. My friend has a Sienna 2008 LE. Is it possible to use one of his wheels temporarily in my car? The frame and tire numbers of the two cars are different.

Shouldn't be an issue at all! If you're not matching the same numbers, the wheel itself should still fit and it will still get you around. You probably will get a TPMS light telling you there is an issue with your tire, but you can safely ignore that until you get a new tire. You may also want to put off any super-long road trips with mismatched tires, but it should be fine. I will say, though, that Tire Rack (or, whatever the Canadian equivalent is; just noticed the flag on your post) will typically get you a new tire delivered the next day and most tire places have tires of all sizes in-stock, even if it's not your preferred brand/rating. Most junkyards and many tire places also have the stock of lightly used tires that they sell for $25-75, depending on tread life and condition. Often, a tire shop will put aside the second 30k-worn tire when someone gets sidewall damage on the other tire and replaces a pair. Rather than pay the recycling fee, they make money by selling it.
