Spare wheel selection
Just picked up 2020 GLE 350 with 20 inch wheels (no spare)
any opinions as am only interested in a space saver steel spare to throw in the back with a bottle jack and some wood for trips. I realize that for some reason the front wheels have a different offset than the rears so in using a space saver spare which would prevail and what lug bolts would work with both.
I realize that certain options configurations can be ordered with a space saver. I’ve already contacted TireRack

PS would this same wheel n tire work on a new E300 with 18’s. Since it’s only a spare I have no concerns with rolling diameter being slightly different.

A space saver wheel, jack and tool kit is £600. You can of course get the jack and tool kit cheaper elsewhere.
