One thing after another

So today I finally put my spare tire on the wheel. I got it home and went to mount it on the back and it doesn't fit. 1 it's too big it blocks the brake light and hits the bumper. 2 the lug pattern isn't right. Any suggestions? The tire is 2557517. I have a tj but I have jk Rubicon wheels with a 5×5 pattern instead of the tj 5×4.5

Replace your spare carrier with an aftermarket one that allows for more clearance and different bolt pattern or use an adapter. Make some DIY spacers to raise your 3rd brake light or just take it off.

Appears to have 2 bolt spacing patterns, not sure what they are...

I just bought a cheap wheel adapter from Amazon. No need to move the brake light or replace the carrier
