wait, you want to put the spare tire in your trunk? The only reason this is done in the ML55 is due to the exhaust. You can easily unbolt the spare tire carrier if you wish underneath. Check ML55s on ebay, they have plenty of interior pics. The interior mount spare does take a lot of room and partially blocks visibility.

Thanks for the info. I'll see If I can find any interior pics for it. If anyone have a pic handy, please post it for me, thanks.
