I dont have a spare tire for my 02, and when I checked with parts they did not have one for my VIN. Is there a spare out there that fits for me? Does anybody have the part number? I am not liking driving around so naked.

I have searched and seen that people have done a mod to get one in. I am wondering if since 02 there is just a wheel tire combo I can purchase. Thanks in advance!

02 came with out a spare. You can get an 03 donut or get another front 7.5" rim as a spare.

Are you sure the car came with it from the factory? Are you the original owner?

I just kept checking on CL and found a spare from a regular W203 for cheap.

Well thank you guys. Now if any of you 03, 04 c32s are feeling generous you could pm me your VIN so I could just order a replacement spare. Unless you know the part number. I would be very grateful

Just go to autotrader or ebay and grab one off a car for sale.

Confirming the 03 came with a full size front spare on a black aluminum rim, but not on an AMG rim.

Bought my '02 CPO and they changed out on of the rims before putting it out on the lot for resale. They put a new tire on the take-off and in the trunk as a spare!
