Quick question: My son had a severe accident, someone flew over the median into his car and totalled it. He is ok but needs some surgery.

He needs to get his tires and rims off and put junk ones on. Where does one find junk tires and rims? Quickly size 5x114.3 lug

Is that something junk yards would have?

Since you live in Maine there should be local junk yards nearby where you’ll be able to get what you need

Check Craigslist in your local area.

Being 1/2 Hispanic, I learned my way around a wrecking yard at an early age. Find a local wrecking yard and start there.

Where can I find junk used tires on junk rims?

Note sure about the rims, but this site is popular for used tires, usually for people about to turn in a lease:

If you are scrapping it they probably don’t need tires on it!!!

If you are near Chicago and Comiskey Park there a many local entrepreneurs that can obtain them for you quickly and relatively cheaply ... they can also throw in batteries and stereos if needed.

Is that something junk yards would have? Yes, junk yards should, but call first, and usually the rims are specific to the make. But unless we know what area you live in then that is about all we can do to help, besides pray.

My dad saved old tires just for that purpose but they tended to accumulate after about 30 years. I counted the tires one day and there were 105.

And no long after, as they were getting older, dad and mom were going over things that needed to be done, and mom asked about all those tires in back of the garage. Dad replied "Oh, those are shipping tires." This seemed to go right past my mom and so I asked, "Dad, what do you mean shipping tires?" (humorously 'cause i knew). He answered something like, "Well, when I get ready to ship a car to the junk yard I put them on it." "But dad," I replied, there's 105," and which was funny.

Mom also had a longing to see dad's crowded collection of "fossils" in the old tool shed dealt with. She had a dream one night in which the tool shed was all cleaned out. She told my dad but I think that was a night mare to him. I sympathize with that!
