Are there different length spare tire hold down bolts? Mine doesn't seem to secure the alloy wheel fully in place even with the plate flipped over.....

My car has a 5-lug conversion and 15x8 Fuchs all round. But for 30 years, I've had the same crappy spare my PO left me, so I recently bought a 15x7 cookie cutter and a 215/60-15 for a real spare. However, the old hold-down bolt wasn't long enough, so I extended it by going to ACE and buying a coupler and a bolt with the same thread pitch. Cut down the bolt to the right length, put on the coupler, and voila. Cost me under $2.
