The Curt hitch item # 13358 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 Model 170 with OEM bumper step. The spare tire can be reinstalled after installation and removed when needed without any issues related to the Curt hitch item # 13358. I have attached a picture that demonstrates the hitch receiver installed on a 2016 Sprinter Van with the spare tire in place.
