Spare tire panel
Hi, I came upon this part:
https://www.mboemonline.com/oem-part...nel-2056100175
A spare tire panel. item 205-610-01-75
Is this a part we can swap in order to store a spare tire in the trunk, or is this already installed even if we have the standard run flat tires, and they just kept the name? I see that mercedes also sells a spare wheel/tire.
I am thinking of getting rid of the runflat tires after they are worn out. So I would like to get a real spare wheel/ and or the emergency inflate kit.
Thanks.

I'm very interested in this as well, I just recently switched out to regular tires and the rides a lot quieter. But I'm running the risk of getting stranded with my no spare wheel and I don't want it to take up trunk space.

I would like to do this too if I was sure it would work. I currently have a donut spare sitting in the trunk and would love to make this conversion if possible. Does anyone know if it is really feasible?

Spare Tire Panel
The above site and many others indicate that the panel will fit my car, but I'm trying to figure out if/how it allows the aforementioned spare to be stored flat (or close to flat) underneath the trunk mat. Alternatively, will I have to acquire one of those self-inflating spare tires? Then, if I have to get the smaller spare, will it fit around the larger brakes of the C400? So many variables - I'm sure many of us would love to hear from anyone who's installed this part successfully.
