Default Space Saver wheel

Hey Guys,

I am wanting to take my SRT out on longer trips but not really wanting to without a spare wheel. I know the 18/19" wheels makes it not ideal, however is there a space saver wheel available from mercedes that would fit in emergency cases? Anyone have a part number or details of something that may work?

Thanks in advance.

Use search for spare or donut.

I had the same concerns about longer trips with my SRT6 as well. I contacted a German parts supplier in Potomac, Maryland, since they were advertising a compact spare that fit a MB SLK 320. The size of the spare is 145-70-17 and it came with the shorter lug bolts, since it is a steel wheel.

Since the sidewall and wheel size is different from our standard wheel, the actual diameter is almost an exact match to our rear tire/wheel combination, which is critical for the rear end to function properly. If a front tire becomes flat, it is not critical to put the spare on for short period of time, to get you to a service center.
This should cost between $175 - $225.

I hope this helps.....
