Hey Curt,
The only option we have is a 145R12 Wheel and tire combo in black # AM35354 or white # AM31199DX that have the specs you're looking for.
These combos have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you're looking for and the M speed rating, and are the same width of a 5.3-12, but are just a little bit shorter. They're basically right in between a 4.80-12 and a 5.30-12 so they should work perfectly for you.
