I've got this mess in the wheel well where the spare tyre goes.

Presumably it came from a spare which had some form
of tyre slime in it which came off the rim or something.

Unlikely.

Have fun explaining where else it came from.

I don't need to.

There is none of it on the cover that goes over the
wheel well so it must have come from the spare.

BS.

I don't use any form of tyre slime myself,

Good for you.

but did get a couple of tyres and rims from the wreckers

Dangerous and stupid thing to do.

Nope, just because the body of the car was
a write off says nothing useful about the tires

Exactly, it says *nothing* about the tyres.

And equally you know nothing about the tyres on any second-hand car that
you buy - or do you immediately replace all the tyres no matter how much
tread is on them?
