trailer car - best tie down locations?

I just bought a open flat car hauler for my 2008 Turbo, holy cow, what are best tie down locations since it sits so low to deck? Are people using axle straps to suspension arms or attached some type of anchor points underneath? Any photos?
Thanks,

Likely for these cars (being so low), is to use the over tire ratcheting straps. Won't damage any components, and very secure.

Something like the example shown for reference only.

Good luck.

I put my straps between the spokes in the wheels.
