The 2003 SLK320 comes with 205/55r16" in front.
225/50r 16" in the rear.

The Crossfire uses 225/40r-18" in front.
255/35r-19" in back.

The rear tires on the SLK and the Crossfire are approximatly the same diameter (only about an inch difference, so there should be no reason Steves inflatable spare should cause any problems.
The front tires on the SLK and the Crossfire are nearly identical in diameter so the spare should fit just fine.
