I never liked the idea of not having a "spare tire". Even my old 911 has a spare tire. Maybe I just don't like the idea of being stranded by the side of the road while waiting for a tow truck driver... ahem, the correct tow truck driver that's driving a flat bed.... to come and rescue me. Chances are, the first tow truck driver that comes is not driving the "flat bed" type. I.e. - what if I'm in the middle of nowhere? If it takes them 1.5 hours to arrive while you're in the city or the suburbs, I'd hate to see the times if you're in a rural area....
So... does anyone know what the part numbers are for the

And I assume I need the parts for a new trunk liner as well? Would it even fit?
It won't work-- below there is a lot of electronics and the battery and the only choice is to lay it in the trunk. Pull up the bottom of the trunk and see for your self.
Just more weight and I would not do it even though I would also like one.
I don't mind laying the spare wheel on the trunk. It's even better if it's one of those "spare saving wheels" that's smaller. The idea is to not get stuck in the middle of nowhere. Weight-wise, I don't think it really matters to add another 50 lbs when the car already weighs 3977 (mine) lbs.
The 19 inch AMG collapsible/inflatable spare tyre set for the C63 W205 is:
A2124004200 - 19 inch collapsible wheel/tyre (with AMG logo on the black rim)
A0005851195 - spare wheel bag inc straps to tie down in the boot (includes another bag inside for the dirty wheel)
B6685079128 - tool kit (in a bag)
Note: you don't get a pump with the toolkit, so your problem to inflate. From memory the wheel/tyre is made in Holland.
The collapsible tyre is great in terms of space, as it essentially takes up the same space as a 17 inch space saver tyre. Not so sure on the design.
The wheel/tyre is basically this one and inflates like this:

That is great news except the dealer says I am unable to order those parts
I feel like runflat tire technology have come a very long way. Most you can drive up to 50 mph for 50 miles or some general rule which is a far enough distance to get you to a tire shop.

wow that's crazy, I thought it was illegal for cars to come from factory without a spare unless they were equipped with runflats. Maybe that is just company to company policy.
offsets on W205 C63 is fairly similar to W204 C63. Maybe the W204 C63 spare would also fit since it also had massive calipers ? I am still in the process of purchasing my W205 otherwise I would test it out.
Ok, sorry to relive this very old thread that I didn't even realize I started!!! Funny thing is, I started thinking about this again and decided to "Search" for any answers... And lo and behold! Surprise! My own freakin thread from 5 years ago popped up and I had totally forgotten... Getting old SUCKS!
So anyway, I did come up with a partial solution.... 1) the car already has an inflator; so that's cool. 2) I bought a cheap $30 tire plug kit from Amazon and it seems easy enough to do. Here's the
Wow... getting old really DOES SUCK! I searched for a "jack and tire" thread, didn't know I started this one and re-read that I did the same exact thing last year!!! However, I found a solution for $440...[Hello to myself next year when I look for this thread again!]

Im based in Sydney, Australia and so far have had only one slow leak which was a nail and it got fixed. I just did a 1,000km roadtrip and always worry about having a full blow out. Hopefully the kit you suggested or this one I found will put my mind at ease...

I almost said I liked the wheel you found which is 20" and has a wider track at 195/55. But then it only has a 55 mph speed rating. The other wheel is an 135/70-18 but has a 81 mph speed rating. There's no way in hell that I can drive 55 mph on the highway.
