I've been looking around but basically I want something cheap/used, dont care if the rim matches. I'm a function over form kind of guy and finding a matching chrome mickey thompson wheel with a new super swamper wrapped around it isn't really something I feel like paying for. What sort of things are you guys doing for this? All I need is a tire with roughly 34.5 inch diameter and the 4.5x5 bolt pattern, correct? It looks like I may also have to delete the upper center brake light too since it would get in the way.
I got 35's on my rig but the spare tire is an older, smaller size

find a used tire and or wheel.
I’m running jk Moab wheels with adapters. I got 5 wheels with no rock rash for 50 bucks off marketplace. You can find guys taking off their 35s with rubber for cheap.
You can raise the 3rd brake light.

Search your tire size on Marketplace. Should be able to find something for cheap that would serve you decently in a pinch.
I run Lt315/75R16 tires ("metric 35s") and an inexpensive LT255/85R16 spare. When I had my CJ7 I ran 35x12.50R15 tires and a 33x9.50R15 BFG spare. The goal was a smaller and lighter spare close enough in tire diameter to the tires on the ground to get me off the trail if my tire plug and sidewall repair kits are insufficient for a trail fix.
Its been about 17 years since I started running a smaller spare in my jeeps. So far, so good.

What I never understood, charging for dumping,
I've lived all over the US. Can't stand the states that charge to take stuff to the dump.
$116 in Califorado for a truck bed of brush.
Half the states I've lived in no charge at the dumpsite,
So guess what I see when I drive around the back roads out here. People dumping on the streets in people's farm lands.
How much does it cost in OR to recycle those four tires?
Last time I bought tires inAK I think it was $2
I mean the cost has to land somewhere. But I'd rather my tax dollars go to the dump to protect public lands rather than free needles

Exactly,
I would much rather my tax dollars be spent on a cost free dumpsite then Gender fluid studies of guinea pigs in Paraguay
I help run a non-profit called Friends of Willamette Cascades Watershed and we run volunteer cleanups in the Willamette and Umpqua National Forests.
Drove the Jeep three hours south this weekend and helped another organization - The Motherline - clean up around Cave Junction. They have an RV problem we know how to solve...Steve, my friend and fellow board member is a certified asbestos inspector.
This load cost $1100 to dump. (The rate they charged The Motherline was 225% higher that their posted rate.) And that was after an hour drive. The local transfer station is only open Wednesdays. All the public lands are covered in illegal dumping.
