W211, 5th spare wheel instead of tire repair kit

Hello,

I have a 420CDI European SEDAN (W211 year 2008) with a tire repair kit.

In normal use I am not confident with this solution, I prefer the good old solution with a true 5th spare wheel despite statistics on flat tires.

I wish to make the modifications that willl make possible to have a real wheel in the existing location.

Can anyone help me?

There is a large capacity battery

Is it possible?

What parts need to be changed?

Does someone have and post pictures of a car with a real spare wheel ?

In advance thank you
