Default Whats the bit that holds the spare on the bracket called?

Gidday

Just got a 2002 Forte AUIII wagon with gas. It has a spare wheel bracket, but the bolt on the turner that holds the wheel on the bracket isn't long enough to reach the bolt hole (the wheels is pretty thick).

Was wondering what it's called so I can start searching for one.

Cheers

Shaun

How much does it miss by - have you got the wheel around the right way?

Thanks guys.

Yeah - tried the wheel both ways. The center of the wheel is almost two inches thick. Old my old EL, the wheel center was only a few mm thick.
