dumb rim qestion

hello gents..
so here i am with a 38in tire with a 15in rim... i changes axles etc... and brands of tires.. but i cannot offload this extra tire... anywhere....
so.. my question is..

why not just make it my spare?....

DO THEY MAKE.. 15in rims with an 8 hole pattern?......
to fit 3/4t axles.
i know it's an unpleasent fit for the front rotors....
but.. i just gotta do something with this tire..

I had 3 sets of 15" 8 lug wheels. I bought a set of 15x10" few years ago, cost me aboot $200 thru Summit.

Re: dumb rim qestion

I've run some 15" 8 lug wheels on a 3/4 ton. They were 8" wide, the 10" would hit on the rear drum preventing it from seating properly. Also I had to grind material off the front calipers for clearance.
