Default 2004 Spare Tire

So, the day after Thanksgiving some guy in a beat up car blew a tire across the street. He appeared in my driveway and asked to borrow my spare. Feeling generous, I let him have it ... he mumbled about getting it fixed maybe that day. Of course, I'll never see that spare again.

Turns out, the T135/90 D15 temporary spare that came with the 2004 Accord is no longer available. I think I can get a wheel from Rock Auto, but what to do about the tire. Trouble is, the trunk well is pretty much sized for the temp so a full size won't fit. Was trying to "do the math" between width and aspect ratio to get close. Anyone else had to deal with something like this? Any advice?

I'd probably go to a junkyard and buy the rim and tire. I think the spare is the same from all 03-07 accords.

Found a "new" one (which is to say, unused) on eBay. As long as the guy doesn't rip me off, should be about the best I can do for an OEM part, including jack kit. I can repurpose the jack. Fingers crossed it arrives "as advertised." Option 2 is a 155/80 R15 that I think would fit in the well, but the tire alone is almost as much as this tire/wheel and jack kit.
