Suggestions on how to strap down full size 18" spare?

So I am using an OEM Coupe 18" with a 225/40 as a spare to fit over my BBK. I used three layers of 1" styrofoam pieces to raise the trunk 3" to sit flat.

My spares slides around a bit during hard cornering or "spirited driving" and that little screw/bolt for the donut is too short now.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to strap down the spare so it won't move?

For those with a full size spare, what did you do?

Thanks,
Chris

If that does not work then go to home depot and get a longer threaded hook.

Still won't fit. I thought about looking for another bolt but that is a weird LONG size.

I tried using straps along with the existing bolt but nothin so far. I'm gonna go to Orchard and look for a bolt.

Thanks.
