Look (for a long time) through the search feature. I remember last year someone postied a rear door "clean up" mod where he filled all the holes and made the rear door a smooth panel. Looked great but it's to me it's a ton of work to simply put the spare tire over it anyway.

I don't have a picture of mine but I went to Lowes and picked up some plugs that fit exactly. They were in the drawers where all of the single nuts/bolts/washers are.

You should be able to find an assortment of plugs or grommets at your local hardware store or napa.

Just curious?What do you do if you get a flat tire? You can't get a tire repaired on Sunday in Washington all the tire stores are closed.

I think the big one was one inch - the smaller oblong ones were like 1/2 or 7/16 ... not sure. Just measure the holes before you go into the stores. The round plugs don't fit the oblong holes perfectly ... but I couldn't find any oblong plugs.
