Default Spare Tire License Plate

So I've looked around and only found stuff that people have bought. I was wondering if anybody made a license plate holder that sits in the rim of the spare tire? If so can you give me an idea? I just can't think of anything at the moment. Thanks!

To be honest I'd personally probably end up zip tying it on there haha

If you have a hitch, Just make one/buy one to stick in there. Only a couple bucks in scrap metal from a welding shop.

My tire rack is already in the hitch. That's why I was looking to make one that went inside the rim. Trying to be cheap about it. It's a homemade tire rack. Spare Tire License Plate-image-2131685381.jpg

I just have it zip tied for now. But there is no light or anything.

I ended buying an aftermarket plate light and just through bolted the plate and light to the tailgate way over to the left with rubber washers and a ton of silicone.

Hey guy thanks for all your input. I went to Lowes and was in the bracket isle. Started looking and thinking and found a way to make a holder for my license plate. Sorry for the ****ty picture. I took it after I installed it. 4 little corner brackets. 2 long straight brackets and some bolts. Just drilled holes in 2 brackets to slip on lug nights and done. Works great! Now I gotta get a light to attach to the license plate. Also all of it cost about $20!
