Default Smittybilt Defender Roof Rack Tire Mount

Hey guys,
I have a Smittybilt Defender roof rack, and I want to put a mount up there to hold my spare. Smittybilt sells a mount, but is the incorrect bolt pattern for my rims (I need a 5x4.5). Does anyone know of a spare tire mount that will work for this? Thank you!

31 inch tire. On my old rack, I had it chained up, but it would shift an inch either way and would annoy the crap out of me.
