2019 C43 AMG

Spare wheel for '19 C43 AMG sedan

Hello to all. I am new to Mercedes with my recent purchase of a 2019 C43 AMG. The car came with a staggered 19" setup with summer performance run-flats. I live in a part of the southwest that does not see much snow but routinely dips below freezing during the winter months. I took off the summer tires and put on high performance all season non-run-flats. I want to have a spare tire in the trunk and have been trying to understand wheel fitment but am not making much progress. If anyone can help with these questions it would be appreciated.

Will a wheel and tire sized for the front work on the back in a pinch for a short distance (less than 200 miles)?
Other than buying a new OEM wheel from the dealer, where else can I purchase just one wheel? What specs do I need? In looking at Ebay, there are sets of four, damaged single wheels and repaired single wheels. These options are not really appealing.

BTW, I like the car vey much. Very fun to drive. A big change from my previous Mustang.

Thanks in advance.

Rocky

For your front wheel, you need 18" rim to clear the brakes. If you end up getting one, there is no room in spare tire compartment. Instead, you need to throw it in the trunk.
