Tirerack has a 125/80-16 kuhmo spare tire for $65. That overall diameter should be 23.9" which should fit nicely in the stock carrier.
Has anybody yet tried this recommendation from Spidertri?

I had to use my 17 year spare. Was the only option I had. Was cracked. I slapped it on and limped to a service station to inflate. Then drove at "reduced" highway speeds for about 40 miles.

car sat on spare a week (not driving) and I got all new tires and threw the spare in the hatch till I could find a new one. Had a run of warm weather and check out what happened! (pic's below) Glad I wasn't in the rig when that thing let go!

Anyhow I'm going to try this idea and see if it'll fit, wondering if anybody else has yet.
