I have ended up with some extra Pirastro violin G strings. What would the consequences be of using an aluminum-on-gut G string for D?

It will probably break. If it doesn't break right away the sound quality might not be the best. Furthermore you would be playing on a string that is much more tense than what you are probably used to.
