Rim 1644000102 does not fit on a GLC with sport package. See images below:
Notice the scratch around the rim from rotating it. The caliper scratched the rim.
IF ANYONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIND ONE RIM THAT FITS THE GLC WITH SPORT PACKAGE or GLC43 or GLC63, please let me know. I’m a little desperate at this point.
Did you have a chance to try the wheel spacer suggestion? Alternatively, assuming one doesn't care much about the spare wheel, do you think the scratching is light enough to be tolerated in case of emergency? In other words, would the calipers cut a groove and eventually be done with the scratching? Thanks.

It adds about 5-10 mins to put the spare on the back, even when you have a flat on the front, and then move the good rear tire to the front. You already have the tools out, so it goes quickly.
Long story short, it all works, I’m happy with it all, but spare only fits on the rear. So if you have a front flat, you put spare on rear first, then rear on front and front in trunk.
There is a bigger spare available but I don’t know if it fits under the floor like the one I got.
I have come across this spare wheel and jack kit from a 2010 ML. It doesnt appear to have the part numbers A...........002 etc as part of its make up, which has been suggested as ideal. Any ideas whether this would do the job for me on my new GLC 220D ? andrew .........

Just wanted to follow-up. Does anyone know if the donut from a 2019 GLE 350 4Matic will fit on a GLC300 4Matic without any modifications?
Wondering if the spare can go on a 2019 GLC 43
I tried yesterday the rim A1644000102 from a GLS 63 AMG ,it;s good for the rear but not for the front .
Even on the GLS 63 , the spare is only good for the rear but not a big issue because it's a square set up .
The A1644000102 is 4.5 X 19 ET 40 with a 155/80/19 tire
The A1674000300 is the same number and same tire
Any idea Anyone ?
Thanks threeMBs .
So , looking at the # on the rims (identical) . What is different between the 2 of them ?
I think I will try the GLS 63 again and try to stick a 15mm spacer and use my OEM bolt .
I am considering the purchase of a 2018 GLC. The idea of no spare bothers me even with EM (run flat) tires. What have others done? Is there a space saver available? Any thoughts?
I went on to ebay and I purchased a used GLC 300 tire and wheel . Then I purchased a used mercedes jack and lug wrench. I also carry a can of Slime sold at Walmart, a small compressor, and a tubeless tire repair kit. My GLK350 came with a spare and so did my ML350.
My salesman lied to me about the runflats and a spare tire with the 2019 MB GLC300
I will never buy another car without the option of a spare tire. Amazingly, when I looked at the 2020 GLC on dealer lots through MBUSA inventory section, very few 2020 GLC came with the spare tire?
Not sure why? Whey dealer would not include this option for an additional $200 but would add a bunch of cosmetic options?
They probably believe the general public would prefer: more trunk space, less weight/better performance, better gas mileage. (all of these are arguable, I'm sure...except you certainly lose trunk space)
Probably think that it is also "safer" for the consumer to simply drive the run flat to the nearest service station without working on their car on the side of a road and possibly get injured by another motorist or thug?
While I would prefer the spare myself, I know if my wife or daughter called and said, "I can try to change the tire on the side of the road myself, or I can call and wait 2hrs for MB Roadside Assistance to show up, or I can simply continue driving to the nearest, safe location/home/MB Dealer." Want to know what I would suggest???
I agree. I am grateful for the run flats and will not go back to changing tires on the side of a busy highway and in the dark. In fact,I just had my first flat last week , picked up a sheet metal screw that punctured a tire which went flat overnight in the garage. We live about 8 miles from the nearest MB dealer. So, I drove there the next morning and will definitely replace with RFT from now on. If I lived 40 miles from an MB dealer I would probably not be driving a car with runflat tires unless I had a full size spare and I would have an easily repaired domestic car for the daily driver.
I found this website that says the spare will fit all GLC300 models. I wonder what more knowledgeable owners think. I really want to get away from the run flats. I'd like to have Michelin tires. I don't feel secure driving on non-run flat unless I have the spare.
On the other hand, I thought about getting a tire plug kit. That will probably take care of 90% of tire issues. If I run over something and damage a rim, I'm stuck on the side of the road until a tow truck shows up unless I have the spare. I really think I should have a spare.
Yes, I did purchase one from Modern Spare and am very happy with it. I have a 2017 GLC300 in the USA and it as well as all the tools fit perfectly under the lid, and the lld closes flat. I purchased the case but lid won't sit flat with the case on (though it's not lifted by much so if someone wanted to leave it in the case wouldn't be too bad).
Seems to be of good quality and it shipped quickly. Seems to be more expensive than what others have done in getting a used ML spare and parts and such, but it was easy - one click ordered and done.
And at this point i am about 99.9% percent sure i am going to get a set of CrossClimate2 tires with the current Costco promotion (I have the 18" wheels). I will for sure need them before the winter as i am around 32k miles on the Scorpions and some areas at 4/32" so its time.

I read some of the reviews on CrossClimate2 tires. Is there a reason you're going buy those beyond what's stated on TireRack.com? I'm due for tires in a few months also...Thus my inquiry about spare tire and getting rid of the run flats.

Long before i was able to find a suitable spare, the plan was to go non-RFT because of Michelin’s 3-year roadside, as I figured that was a good backup safety net if I had a problem on the road. So, even after the spare purchase, it seemed that Michelin was the way to go.
In addition to TireRack, the original CrossClimates seemed to have very good reviews on many other sites, so I am assuming and hoping that the 2’s are at least as good if not better. I also saw that some of the other Michelins I looked at such as the Latitude and Premier had some strongly negative reviews, and I didn’t see very many poor reviews of the CrossClimates.
I also liked the fact that they have strong winter performance – while we don't necessarily get a lot of snow, it is nice to know that if we do they should handle very well. In addition, there did not seem to be a big tradeoff in dry performance, as again the reviews seemed pretty solid in that area as well.
As they have a much different tread pattern than most of the other tires, I am a little concerned, especially when it comes to road noise, but I would assume overall they should be better than the Scorpions I have now. Also, I wanted to buy at Costco, so my field of options was the ones they offer.
I just received my spare tier from Modern Spare. It fits under the "trunk cover" nicely. Not cheap, but this thing is the most substantial spare "doughnut" I've ever seen. Now I need to get a jack and a tire iron.
Bought the Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. Got rid of the run flats. Much better ride and these tire eat up the snow. Quiet tires. I recommend going this direction instead of buying run flats. I think you break even right away when you consider this is a 60,000 mile tire that can be repaired if it gets a hole. Overall he SUV is so much more enjoyable to drive without the run flats.

I was thinking about the CrossClimate2 as well. So quiet and perform well? How are they absorbing road imperfections? How is steering response?
Thanks for the update, pjsr. Like you and ajmtbm, I am anxious to replace my run flats too. I was hoping to wait until they wear out, but I’m retired and don’t drive that much. I’m just over 20,000 miles but I’ll probably dump them and go the Modern Spare route soon. I appreciate the info you two have posted. I’ve had pretty good luck with Michelins over the years, so I’ll be looking closely at those Cross Climate 2’s. They sound like a nice tire. I expect a much better ride from my GLC than these Pirelli Verde RF’s give me. It’d be great to hear from anybody who loves their run flat replacement tires.

I'm not a high performance driver, so I don't know about steering response...I drive like an old man. The tires seem okay going over bumps...the run flats caused vibration in my steering column that I thought was just normal for the car. That went away with the cross climate 2 michelins. Now it feels like a more solid SUV...more like what I expect a mercedes to feel like.
I really like how these tires handle the snow. I hear the wind while driving, not the tires on the road. These tires look aggressive. People tell me it looks more sporty compared to the scorpion run flats I had before.
Interestingly when I purchased 2020 GLC300, it comes with the spare tires and all the tools in Canada. The car still uses run flat tho...
I asked my dealer and they said all the GLC they have has spare tire

I considered the Michelin CrossClimate 2 but bought Nokian WRG4's.
The Nokian's are amazing in snow and ice, and handle much better than the Pirelli Scorpions in the dry.
The CrossClimates are probably the top choice but I haven't warmed up to their looks yet.
And this is my 6th set of Nokians.
