Trying to spend the least amount to get a proper fitting spare tire any advice would be appreciated.

Bought an aftermarket off Amazon, then bought the tire from a local Honda dealership, just make sure you have the right hole pattern

What is your goal once a spare is needed @ 10am friday morning of a 3 day weekend?

A - get back to the truck so you can go home?
B - keep riding?

If you chose B... then buy a good proper spare.

Bolt is 4/136. But 4/137 will work too.
Factory front is 15x6.5 wheel size and 50mm offset.
People usually carry the front as spare.
This.....

The front will fit on the rear but the rear wont fit the front.

The rears fit on the front just fine.

I purchased a steel wheel and a matching tire from Rocky Mountain for a spare! I now have 5 tires of the same.

Called RMATV they have an aluminum wheel 15x7 5+2 offset 4x137 for $98 dollars. So if can’t find anything else will buy this if you think that wheel will work as a spare for a 1000r either in front or rear in case of a flat.
