Using automatic selection of tires and wheels for the car Skoda Octavia, you can avoid many problems associated with their compatibility and compliance with the recommendations of the car manufacturers. After all, they have a huge impact on a significant part of the vehicle's operational properties, primarily on handling, fuel efficiency and dynamic qualities. In addition, tires and rims in a modern car are one of the active safety elements. That is why their choice should be approached as responsibly as possible, that is, with knowledge of a number of parameters of these components.
Unfortunately, or, on the contrary, fortunately, a significant part of motorists prefer not to study the technical device of their own car thoroughly. In this case, a fully automatic selection system is almost the only way to avoid the wrong choice when buying tires and rims. And it is very wide, due to the variety of such products presented in the Mosavtoshin online store.
For most motorists who plan to change shoes or change wheels and tires for other sizes, the question is - what are the sizes of wheels and tires on the Skoda Octavia A5? very relevant. When selecting wheels, it is necessary to adhere to the standard dimensions and characteristics of the car in general. Here is a table with the recommended dimensions of the VAG manufacturer:
For Octavia A5
To correctly select the width of the tire to the width of the rim, you need to know the MATCHING OF TIRES AND RIMS
J - disc width in inches
R - disc diameter in inches
5х112 - the number of bolts (5) and the distance between them PCD in mm (112)
ET - blade overhang in mm

Wheels that will fit exactly on FL 11
Answer
7-17: 7,5-17;
Hub bore 57.1;
bolt pattern 5-112;
departure 45-50.
Rubber 215-225 × 45.
The difference in departure is plus minus 5.
If the hub hole is larger, you can buy centering rings.
They put 225-45-17 on the original disks from the Audi A6C6. The front wheels in width protruded beyond the mudguards and splashed all the sides with mud (and the car was white, but the roads were Russian, provincial). As a result, they removed it.
Who unscrewed the licked wheel bolts on the original wheels?
Tightened tightly.
In general, if a normal key and a larger lever did not help, and the tire service makes a helpless gesture, go to the service and weld on with welding.
Do I need to change bolts when switching from casting to stamping?
If everything is original, then you do not need to change.
We take out the rear wheel outward on the Skoda
How to get the rear wheels out a little if you don't like them too much in the arches.
We take into account that the car will quickly get dirty.
But if you really want to, such spacers are put here - up to 2 cm in the form of a metal washer.
Placed between the hub and the wheel disc.
Thus, it brings the wheel out.
For the price - in the region of 3 tr.

How to blacken the tires on your Skoda?
There are a lot of funds, from dear Hi-Gear, to cheap:
- glycerol,
- cream paint for Silver shoes (for leather !, not for suede or nubuck),
- Silicone Grease,
- regular polish,
- cola + glycerin,
- special foam for tires,
- shoe polish is the cheapest one for shoes.
Glycerin is enough until the first rain, and if carefully, then for a week.
Layout: mix glycerin with water 50/50, you can even have more water.
The dust does not stick, the price of glycerin is a penny. Spread with a regular dish sponge.
Hi-Gear (foam) - flows onto discs and is uneconomical.
Black | Black from Soft99 - silky shine / dust sticks, but it washes off easily / water comes off with a bang / persistent.
Doctor Wax restorer - natural color / almost (!) Indifferent to dust / water drainage, though not certain. And not as persistent as Black.
Tire load index the right choice
When buying winter or summer tires, I think that every car enthusiast needs to know about the tire speed index and load index. all tires have their own parameters.
Important:
New tires must first be “run in”, since at first their grip with the other tires is not yet quite optimal. This fact must be taken into account at the first 500 kilometers and to drive the car with increased speed.
The rolling method of tires affects their service life.
If you do not know for what speed and load the tires in which your car are shod are designed, then you should not be surprised,
if problems arise when the set parameters are exceeded.

TIPS FOR SELECTING TIRES (from the manual)
The first parameter that needs to be determined is tire size.
The instructions for your car should indicate the size that best suits your car. Considering that many manufacturers recommend operating tires with a wider profile in summer and narrower ones in winter, several sizes may be indicated in the instructions.We do not recommend installing tires with a different standard size, since car manufacturers have tested the car in various conditions and have selected the optimal tire size. providing the safest mode of vehicle operation.
The tires of the recommended sizes differ in a certain circumference in the outer diameter, and if you leave tires of a different size, this will lead to distortions in the readings of the odometer and speedometer. Depending on the conditions in which the tires will be used, their seasonality and tread pattern are chosen.
Seasonality tires are divided into summer, winter and all-season.
You should not use winter tires in summer, as they become very soft at elevated temperatures. Such tires are subject to rapid wear in the summer and do not provide a safe mode of vehicle operation.
Summer tires in winter, on the contrary, become very hard and do not provide good traction.
Make sure that the tires you purchase comply with international and Russian standards. Tires passed
certification, marked with the letter "E" (indicating compliance with European standards) or the inscription "DOT" (indicating compliance with American standards), and sometimes both of these markings may be present.
Regardless of international certification, all tires sold in Russia must have a certificate of conformity,
issued by the state standard of Russia, which conducts its own tests.
The seller must present a certificate at the first request of the buyer.
Although the tire load index is set with a margin, one should not neglect the established indicators and do not load the car in excess of the permissible load.
Tire Load Index Table
How to decipher the coded wheel markings
Wheel parameters
A Is the width of the rim, expressed in inches.
B- rim diameter, expressed in inches.
C Is the diameter of the mounting holes (PCD).
D- diameter of the central hole (DIA), mm.
E- disk overhang, mm.
N- number of mounting holes.
F- the edge of the seat.
H- hump type (hump, English).
S- the inner surface of the disc.
X- X-factor, mm.
Let's analyze the marking of a car disk using the example of the following entry:
6½ J x 15 H2 5x100 ET45 d54.1
Decoding of marking of rims for cars
6½ (rim width) Is the width of the rim A, measured in inches.
15 (rim diameter)- the diameter of the wheel rim B, measured in inches. This value is determined without taking into account the height of the rim flanges.
J (flange)- designation of the profile of the rim flange F. J - the most common type. Also for passenger car rims, the following types take place: JJ, JK, K, B, D, P.
H2 (hump)- collars H on the rim seat. Humpers are designed to securely fix the beads of tubeless tires during lateral impacts, such as when cornering, preventing air outflow. The H2 index means that such protrusions are present on both sides of the rim (in contrast to the H index, which indicates the presence of a hump on only one side).
d54.1 (hub diameter)- the diameter of the central hole D for the wheel hub (DIA), which is measured from the side of the mating plane. DIA is one of the most important indicators that determine the suitability of a wheel rim to a car. Exact coincidence of the diameters of the landing cylinder and the disc bore gives the absolute centering of the wheel. If these diameters do not match, then the final centering is ensured by means of conical or spherical shapes at the fastening bolts / nuts and their corresponding holes in the auto disk. Centering rings are also used in this situation.
As a rule, an accurate fit is ensured when the original manufacturer's wheels are installed. Most third-party wheel rims are equipped with centering o-rings. This is due to factors such as the relative unification of disks and the reduction in the cost of their production - it is much cheaper to supply products with centering rings than to produce products that differ only in the diameter of the central hole with a step of a fraction of a millimeter.
Location of mounting holes
5x100- number N of holes for fastening bolts / nuts (5) and diameter C of their location (100mm). The diameter of the circle along which the holes are placed is called PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter).
Depending on the number of mounting holes, different factors are used to calculate the PCD parameter from the known hole spacing (see figure below).
A- width between the centers of two adjacent holes, mm.
B- the diameter of the conditional circle along which the centers of the mounting holes (PCD) are located, mm.
The holes of the fasteners can have a decent tolerance in diameter, however, the bolt fits unambiguously and absolutely in the center due to the tapered guides. Therefore, the minimum divergence between the centers of the holes at the disc and the hub means that only one bolt is provided with a tight fit - the rest will most likely be tightened with a bias, excluding correct centralization. Thus, when the wheel rotates, we will have a runout - this is one, and the second - an additional "rotating" load on the bolts or nuts.
Important!
Installation of rims with a PCD different from the nominal is prohibited!
What can lead to the deviation of this parameter from the given one?
A delta of a couple of millimeters, which is not perceptible to the eye and seemingly does not affect driving performance, can cause the disc mounting bolts to loosen from the hubs while driving.
If you have any doubts or difficulties in selecting a disc for a car, in order to avoid incidental situations, it is better to entrust this task to a store consultant or a car service worker.
Departure disk
ET45(Einpress Tief, German; offset, English) - disk offset E: distance between the plane of the wheel disk mounting and the plane of symmetry of the rim, mm. This parameter is set by the manufacturer for each vehicle.
The overhang of the disc can take both positive and negative values, depending on the position of the mating plane relative to the center line of the rim.
A positive disc overhang corresponds to a design in which the mating plane is located closer to the outer side of the rim than the center plane of the wheel rim. The opposite position indicates a negative value.
With a decrease in the ET value along the numerical coordinate axis, the wheels begin to protrude to the sides outside the car body - the track becomes wider. An increase in overhang results in a narrower track. Usually, the manufacturer's allowable delta is about ½ cm.
The ET parameter is optional and may not appear in the disc label.
Important!
By adhering to the recommended values, you will ensure a safe position of the wheel in the wheel arch and an optimal load on the suspension and swing mechanism.
An increase in the disc overhang is unacceptable - this can lead to mechanical contact between the disc and the elements of the brake system. Reducing the offset, although it allows you to achieve a slightly greater stability of the car, as well as the dubious pleasure of "hanging out nicely", but it entails an increase in the shoulder and, as a consequence, an overload of the mechanics of the hub and suspension.
Install wheels with an offset other than the recommended one at your own peril and risk!
X-factor- a very conditional indicator X, which determines the distance between the plane of the wheel disk attachment and its rear surface. By itself, this space allows the installation of discs on vehicles in which the elements of the brake system protrude beyond the mating plane.
Winter tires: Kapnor.
He took thorns.
There is no point in using such rubber for the winter, specifically in Moscow.
Roads are regularly very abundantly watered with chemical rubbish, from which there is paintwork corrosion, therefore, spikes are practically not needed.
Of the pros and cons of the above tires:
Noisy.
+ price / quality
What is praised:
Michelin, Kapnor, Dunlop, Continetal, Yokogama, Bridstone
Tigar, a Michelin subsidiary!
Nokian Nordman SX - practically does not make noise, holds the road well.
Michelin primas 3. Quiet, well on track.
TOYO PROXES C1S - soft, quiet, holds water.
It all depends on how and where to go.
The correct selection of wheels and tires for a vehicle should presuppose the selection of products in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer. Deviation from one or another standard may cause the technical impossibility of installing a wheel or tire, as well as a violation of safety rules. In the regulatory documents from car manufacturers there are recommendations for the selection of wheels for a particular model, taking into account the parameters of the bolt pattern of the disks, etc.
Selection for fifth models
Skoda Octavia A5 models, depending on the configuration, were equipped with steel or light-alloy wheels of the same bolt pattern. Cheaper modifications were completed with steel, or so-called stamped products. The manufacturer provided for the permissible disc characteristics for the A5 models, which were produced from 1996 to 2004, namely in terms of the hub diameter - 57.1 mm (this indicator is marked with the DIA coding), the diameter of the product itself - 15, 16 and R17, departure - from 30 to 46 mm (ET). In this case, the number of holes for fasteners is 5 pieces with the diameter of the conditional circle on which they are located, 100 mm. The manufacturer, when selecting products by width, recommended choosing between indicators in the range of 6 - 7.5 inches. To fasten the product to the car hub, bolts of the M14x1.5 type are used. The location parameters and technical characteristics of the bolts, as well as their number, are called bolt pattern.
The Skoda Octavia A5 models, which were produced in the period from 2004 to 2008, had slightly different indicators of wheel sizes. So, the diameter of the location of the elements for attaching the product to the hub increased to 112 mm, and the manufacturer provides for the installation of disks with a diameter of 15, 16, 17 and 18 inches on the car. The outreach indicator (ET) has also changed and is 31-50 mm.
Regarding the selection of rubber tires, one should, of course, take into account the standard size of the main rim. So, the most popular and demanded are tires with data 195 for 65 R15, 205 for 60 R15 91 h-v, 205 for 65 R16 91 h-v-W and 225 for 45 R17 91 h-W. At the same time, the products that have shown themselves from the best side are produced under such brands as Pirelli, Goodyear, Nokian, Michelin and many others. The correct selection of products for a specific period of operation is also important, as well as depending on the climate characteristics of the area where the vehicle will be mainly used.
Summing up the selection of cast or stamped products for Skoda Octavia A5 cars, including rubber, it is worth giving an example of optimal combinations of elements of a car wheel in the table:
Selection for seventh models
The choice of products on the Skoda Octavia A7 model is much more diverse, in contrast to the previous model. So, depending on the modification (regular or Tour model), as well as on the model year of manufacture, the data of tires and disks may differ significantly. The simplest stampings are installed on basic configurations of Skoda Octavia A7 and Tour vehicles. The code for this part is 5Q060102703C.
The bolt pattern for the Skoda Octavia A7 models has the following data - 5 to 112. At the same time, the number "5" indicates the number of main bolts that are used to attach the element to the car's hub, and "112" indicates the diameter of the circle on which the holes for these mounting bolts. In the complex, this indicator is called bolt pattern. Skoda Octavia A7 of the third generation differs from the representatives of the second only in the width and offset of the light-alloy or cast components of the wheel.
From the factory, the models are equipped with sizes of 15 inches, 16 and 17. So, the data for the 15th radius is 6.0J PCD 5 for 112 ET 47, for the 16th - 6.5J PCD 5 for 112 ET 46-48 (57.1) and for 17 7.0J PCD 5 at 112 ET 43.
The bolts used in the A7 have a standard size for most representatives of the Czech automaker - M14 by 1.5.
The choice of original cast elements for the Skoda Octavia A7 models, including the A7 Tour models, deserves special attention. So, customers, depending on the selected configuration of the A7 or as an additional option, are given the opportunity to choose products of various styles. As original cast elements on the Skoda Octavia A7 model, including the Tour model, such types as Minoris, Denom, Ilias, Gemini are installed, having a standard bolt pattern. Among the above, it is worth highlighting the Denom and Gemini models, which are also suitable for the A5 model, and the most popular for the A7 models is the 16th size.
The Denom cast is sized for a standard bolt pattern and measures 7.0J by 17 inches (ET 49). On the Denom type, however, as well as on Minoris, Ilias and Gemini, the manufacturer provides for the possibility of installing anti-slip chains during vehicle operation in the winter season. According to the results of various tests, the Denom model has shown its best side and reasonably enjoys a high level of demand among the owners of Skoda Octavia A7 cars. The Denom castings are silver-colored, have five spokes and an unmistakable, unique design. Depending on the equipment of the described vehicles, it is possible to install R18 wheels. So, for the diameter R18, cast elements of the Turini, Alaris and Golus type are used. All of these R18 models differ in performance and appearance. It should be noted that each type of light-alloy elements of the Octavia A7 models has its own unique code. For example, the Denom 17 model is marked with the code 5E0601025D8Z8, and the Turini R18 can be in several colors. The article number of one of the most popular R18 elements is 5J0071496M 7ZS. Elements of the R18 type significantly influence the appearance of the models, imparting a sporty style and aggressiveness.
The selection of different tire sizes on the Octavia A7 is also carried out depending on the alloy wheel elements used. So, for a radius of 15 inches, 195 by 65 tires are suitable, for a radius of R16, 205 to 55 are optimal, and for a radius of 17 - 225 by 45.
Car owners make their choice mainly taking into account the decorative component of the part. In this case, the selection should be made taking into account all the above data. The most popular and demanded types of rubber for the Octavia A7 models are Micheline Energy Seiver, Continental ContiPremiumContact or Dunlop SP Sport FestResponse, and light alloy elements with a radius of 16 inches.
Summarizing the description of the parts that can be used in the A7 models, you should summarize the information in the table below.
In this case, the symbol "J" denotes the shape of the rim edge, and the "R" the radial structure of the rubber tire (for example, R with an index of 16). The hub bore of the seventh models is no different from the previous generation.
Exterior style depends not only on the type of body color, some tuned elements, but also on the appearance of the wheels, and in particular - disks. However, the selection of these components should be approached not only from the side of aesthetic values, but also the size compliance with the factory requirements of Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013, as well as performance indicators. In the latter case, against the background of stamping, products from light-alloy metals benefit to a large extent. However, financially, not every motorist can afford them.
More about the presented assortment
Relative to forged products, alloy wheels in Moscow are inexpensive structures, but they are more expensive for motorists in comparison with steel rims. However, they are in great demand due to the capabilities of the casting technology to produce real masterpieces in the style of light-alloy products. Lightweight structures can become the main highlight of the exterior of the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013. They offer decent corrosion resistance, which is not the case with steel rims, and exhibit excellent driving characteristics.
Light-alloy rims are made of aluminum or titanium alloy, which are valued for their excellent physical and chemical properties. At the same time, in terms of strength, these alloy metals are not particularly inferior to steel. With light-alloy wheels, the owners of the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013 may not worry about the safety of speed indicators.
In addition, alloy wheels are valued for their fuel efficiency, which is ensured by their lightweight construction and low rolling resistance. In addition, they have excellent thermal conductivity, which helps prevent the possibility of overheating of the braking and running systems. This property allows drivers to feel somewhat more confident in the safety of movement. Light-alloy products are balanced and have high accuracy of geometric parameters.
Difficulties of choice
Such a wide range of disc offers that are offered today by domestic and foreign manufacturers create certain difficulties when purchasing components in Moscow. Indeed, sometimes brands set completely different prices for the same technical characteristics of products. However, does the quality really correspond to the declared indicators?
On the website of the online store "Wheels for Free" you can familiarize yourself with various reviews of motorists who have already managed in practice to evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of various disks on the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013 and make their choice. You can also consult with competent managers of our store, who will not only be able to choose the best option for you in terms of quality and cost, but will also answer all your questions.
When choosing discs, it is worth noting the importance of the quality factor of the roads on which you move. If you have to overcome the extreme difficulties of the terrain on a daily basis, then it makes sense to give preference only to budget stamped components.
If you have a limited budget, you can always get a more affordable, but equally high quality replica. Moreover, today many brands create copies of original wheels, which are in no way inferior in terms of performance to "native" parts.
Why is it worth buying discs from us in Moscow?
We suggest not to waste time on long searches for reliable distributors of automotive components and to order wheel parts in the "Wheels for Free" online store. We have a wide range of different types of disc models from time-tested manufacturers. We are sure that you will be satisfied with the quality of our service and directly with the purchased goods.
