I've tried some of the so called websites that search junkyards and some pick n pulls and found nothing. I've tried other websites like rockauto and found nothing.

the wheel size i would like is 14x5.5. Should I just get the yellow pages and start calling all the local junkyards?

According to my owners' manual, a full size tire will not fit inside the spare tire well. That is why the rear seat backs have those straps. In the event of a flat, the flat tire is supposed to be strapped to the back of the rear seat back.

Or did you modify your hatch area somehow to allow a full size tire/wheel to fit?
