Go to the junk yard and pull an axle from an old XJ.
Hacked off the hub end of it, then mount that to your roof rack securely (you may need to add a new cross bar). Put the wheel on and toss on a couple of lug nuts. There you go, wheel won't slide, spin, or bounce.

Look for a place in your town that does leaf springs and U bolts, trailer parts etc. There has to be one close to you. They will ask how large or a radius, how long and what type of bend you want on them (right angle, round etc.). I got some new ones made when I installed my add a leaf. They cost me $30.00 for the pair and they made them while i waited.
