I bought DUNLOP 195/75/14 tyres  with white wall, but the spare wheel won't fit in the dedicated place in the rear boot?
Do I have some thing wrong?
Or is it normal because they are are higher and wider than originals?

I have 205 70/14 on my 280 SL and the spare does fit in the trunk just fine. Can you post some photos so we can better understand what the problem might be?
