We got rid of our 2012 Countryman

Here is a spare tire kit that we had under the trunk lid, fit perfectly.
It includes the following.

1: Mercedes-Benz C230 C320 Kompressor Space Master Spare Tire 165/15/89P
( 252092526994 ) Originally paid $150 for this.

1: TDN Dubnutz Adapter Kit (http://www.tdnparts.com/spare-tire-adapter-kit/) Originally paid $139 for this.


1: Viair 77P Portable Air Compressor $45 on Amazon.

This kit was awesome, fit right under the truck lid with room to spare. It was never used.

I'll sell the whole kit for $275 plus $25 shipping to the continental US.

Quite a deal for great peace of mind. Send me a pm if you are interested.

Hey is this still available? And where are you located



Available

 

I have the adapter and the spare. Never used. Let me know if you are interested and what is your location. Thanks.

 

Item has been sold!!!

 

I am confused, is the picture with the wheel/tire in the storage compartment not inflated? My '15 Countryman ALL4 is on 17" rims, would this not fit with those wheels?

 

The tire is what's known as a "collapsible spare". when not inflated, it shrinks down radially so it can fit in smaller spaces. When you inflate it, it becomes a normal sized tire.

 

The tire is a specially made collasible tire mounted on a rim, that Mercedes used and I know some new Chrysler minvans use (with a adapter made by TDN to fit on a Countryman). Worked nicely as a spare with my 17" nonflat tires.
TDN is out of business - no more website. If you want to see pics of kit I sold - go to Member Marketplace section for Countryman R60 - and my listing is part way down.
Good luck.

Makes me wonder if it’s possible to somehow source a 17” version of that Vredestein collapsible spare and install it onto a 17” BMW spare wheel...
(providing of course that the 17” spare collapses down below the approx 20” we have to work with in that well...)

 

Yeah, I would certainly be interested in doing this too. I just got off my Conti run flats. Went with Pirelli P7s (non run flat). So far they are amazing, but a spare would certainly be peace of mind.

Just bought this set up. Found the tire on ebay for $100 and bought the adapter from ez accessories, $75 plus shipping for two. Will sell the other one eventually for half what I paid once I determine they're ligit and will work. Haven't test fitted anything to the car yet.

Seems I'm gonna have to drill out the bolt holes on the tire for the "lugs" on the adapter to fit. Anyone else with this set up have to do the same?

 

Not exactly sure what you bought but if you look at the pics attached above, the adapter has holes to allow it to be bolted onto the car using your existing bolts

THEN another set of bolts bolts the wheel onto the adapter.

 

It's the holes on the spare tire. The bolts on the adapter are too big for the holes on the spare. Not by much at all. But just enough.

 

I'm not sure I'd want to drill out the spare, but that's me. I'd try finding another adapter maybe.

Side note, Just saw a picture of your Countryman and I wonder if your color combo has to be one of the rarest ones out there, because I don't believe I've ever come across one in person.

 

There were two with this color combo when I was looking. This, to me, was the better of the two. A couple of others on the Countryman FB page have posted the same color combo but I believe they were all out of country. It's one of the reasons I bought this one. Love that combo.

I contacted the support department I bought the adapters from. I agree with you on the drilling. But It really is only like a thread depth difference in them fitting. So not a lot at all has to come out. I figure I'd be okay since I'm not one of those that would drive the mess out of it with a spare. I'd go straight to the tire shop

 

Curious to know if you were able to bore the bolt holes,
I have a similar setup and found out the spacer didn't work the hard way.

 

Hey does anyone have the exact specs of the adapter? I know 5x120 to 5x112 but what is the thickness?

Thanks!

links to something and me shrugging my shoulders. It looks like more than an inch (> 25.4 mm). Other posts say that a 22 mm spacer is not enough to get the wheel on the front.

Maybe you can experiment?

 

I'm not at home but have all the parts to this kit - pretty sure my spacer is 25mm.

 

Thanks for the info! Can I ask what your original set up is? I have a 2016 Countryman S ALL4 (R60) with 225/45 r18, factory wheels are 52mm offset. Although that's probably overkill, haven't had a chance to measure it. So, if MB SpaceMaker is a 12 offset + 25mm adapter/space = 37MM should be enough?

Also, Calculation and research show rolling diameter should be 26" on the OEMs and I'm wondering if the MB spacemaker is a 26" diameter inflated? I assume since its AWD you cant deviate too far from the diameter or it screws up the diff. Markings on the MB SpaceMaker/Vredestien tire say 165/15 89P. That doesn't seem to jive with normal tire markings. 165 is width, 15 cant be the profile so must be rim size?... is 89 the profile?.

Thoughts?

 

Have 2015 Countryman All4 JCW w. 225/45R18 on factory mags. The actual size of the space maker tire is 165-15 89P (when inflated) or 165/89R15 which equates to 26.6" diameter vs 26" for stock tires, so 2% difference which shouldn't be a problem with AWD. In addition would only keep it on as long as necessary.
Believe I saw some old threads when I purchased it where they used a spacer less than 25mm but they had to use it on the back, wouldn't clear the JCW front brakes. Would still work, but extra step if the flat is on the front.
