Over the weekend I decided that the spare tyre well would be better suited to holding recovery gear, ratchet straps etc.... (plus a 215/75-15 is too large to fit when inflated) so I pulled out the tyre, aired it up and headed off to the hardware store. Picked up a 4in x 5in pipe clamp (as they called it) and two wing nuts.
The "pipe clamp" included a small metal lock down bar. I removed the provided nuts and ran the clamp through my roof rack and into the lug holes on the spare. Placed the steel tie bar back on and ran down the wing nuts, viola! spare is now on the roof. Next step is to move the roof basket back and put the clamp onto a spare cross bar so I can use the entire basket and not just part of it.
