Space Saver Spare Tire Question

Looking to order the space saver spare tire from bimmerzone. I switched to non run flat tires and mine never came with a stock spare. After looking at the area under the cargo floor I noticed that there doesn't appear to be anyway to secure the spare to the floor(usually a center bolt with a large washer in most cars). Does the spare just sit there, and if so wouldn't it rattle around? Also I have the stock 20" M sport wheels, I believe I can use my factory lug nuts if I'm not mistaken?

I tried searching but didn't find anything, does anyone have any experience with the space saver spare?

I just threw my spare there... does not rattle around I assume because it rests on the tire, not the wheel.

I do not hear any new rattling

Any problems with using the stock lug nuts?

Have not tried, but I am on 19" wheels, not sure why it wouldn't work.

Recently used the factory spare with 20" wheels and the lug nuts were fine.

You won't find a a bolt in your hatch. there are threads tapped into the cargo floor under the carpet. The kits come with a nut that threads into it and large washer to hold down the wheel from the top.
