Potentially stranded South of Indy - Rim/Tire Anyone?

Hello, driving home from a trip to FL and rear tire blew at 80mph in KY. Got to the side of the road safely, put on the spare and got back on the freeway. Since it's Easter Sunday and nothing open, decided to stay around 65mph and keep driving back to WI. Went about 150 miles, then the spare blew (now I know they really mean 45mph).
Cobble Towing - AAA tow saved the day - great driver dropped us at hotel withing walking distance of tire shop. Now awaiting opening of tire shop.
First was wondering if they have 235/45/17 tires, but now wondering if the rim was damaged - which could leave us with no options - 400 miles from home if the shop doesn't have any.
Just in case, does anyone in the South Indy/Columbus IN area have an extra 5x110 16" or 17" rim/tire that could get us home? Could buy or rent and UPS back.
Thanks again to this great board!
