About wheel bolt pattern on Skoda Octavia (Skoda Octavia)

6.0J x 15″ wheels with 195/65 R15 , 6.5J x 16″ 205/55 R16 tires and 7.5J x 17″ with 225/45 R17 . Buyers of the Skoda Octavia A7 are offered several options for alloy and steel wheels.

Explanation of symbols:

Wheels: Designation – 6.5J x 16″

6.5 — disk width in inches (sometimes the fraction 1/2 is used in the designation); J - rim flange shape (JJ, JK, K or L options are also possible); 16″ — rim diameter in inches (meaning the mounting diameter on which the tire bead rests during installation);

The disc marking also indicates such parameters as the number of mounting bolts, the diameter on which they are located, the disc offset, the diameter of the central hole, and the maximum load.

Tires: Designation - 205/55 R16

205 — tire width in mm; 55 — ratio of tire height to width in percent (tire profile); R - tire design (in this case radial); 16 — tire diameter in inches (equal to the rim diameter);

The tire designation also indicates the speed index and load index.

Parameters and wheel bolt pattern for Skoda Octavia A7:

Wheel mount (PCD): 5*112 Offset (ET): 50 Hub bore (DIA): 57.1 Fasteners: M14*1.5*27 bolts

Factory wheels for Skoda Octavia A7

Wheel looseness

Different wheels were used on the Skoda Octavia in different generations. Usually this information is indicated in the service book or technical documents of the car. Also, on each vehicle there is a sign that says which wheels and tires are suitable.

Let's look at the wheel bolt pattern for the Skoda Octavia according to the manufacturer's data by year of manufacture and generation:

Skoda OCTAVIA wheel parameters: PCD 5×100 with diameter from 14 to 16, width from 6J to 7.5J, offset from 35 to 40. Similar parameters for Skoda Rapid 1.4 TSI 2018. PCD 5×112 with diameter from 15 to 17, width from 6J up to 7.5J, offset from 35 to 50. Similar parameters to Mercedes GLA-Class (X156) GLA 180 CDI / d 2022. Tire sizes from 14 to 17, width from 185 to 225 and profile from 45 to 70. Minimum tire size: 185/70R14, maximum: 215/55R16.

About tires

The question of what tires to install is not particularly critical for the Octavia A8, since tire sizes are quite common and choosing something to suit your taste is not difficult. Summer tires installed at the factory. As a rule, they do not cause any complaints and most owners have not yet “rolled them out”.

With winter there are more options, here everyone is guided by their own experience and priorities. There are quite good reviews about winter tire brands:

• Nokian HKPL8;
• Cordiant Winter Drive PW-1 94;
• Continental IceContact 2;
• Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic;
• Pirelli Ice Zero;
• Michelin X-Ice North 3.

But you need to understand that reviews are a subjective matter, each driver has his own operating conditions and his own priorities. In relation to winter tires, you should first decide on the group (Scandinavian or European), and then select more specifically.

Standard disk sizes

Skoda Octavia A7 cars are equipped with R15, R16, R17, R18 wheels depending on the vehicle configuration. The range of standard wheels is quite wide and depends on the modification and year of manufacture of the car.

The drilling pattern for the disks remains the same 5*112, where 5 is the number of bolts used to secure the disk to the hub and 112 is the diameter of the circle on which the holes for these bolts are placed. The hub hole has not changed, and on the new model its size is still the same 57.1. A distinctive feature of the latest generation Octavia wheels is the width and offset of the alloy wheels.

Recommendations for disc care

• During maintenance, check the geometry and wheel balancing on a special diagnostic stand. If deviations are detected, restore the integrity of the structure;
• If cracks or dents form on the rim, immediately contact a service station for preventive maintenance;
• Avoid hitting road potholes at high and medium speeds. Regardless of the material or workmanship, the disk will be deformed and the seal will be compromised;
• Monitor the tire pressure; it should not be lower/higher than recommended by the manufacturer. If it deviates, pump it up;
• Switch to summer/winter mode in a timely manner. This means that in summer the tire pressure is 0.15 atm higher, and in winter it is lower by the same amount. The parameters are specified in the vehicle operating instructions;
• Tighten the rim nuts with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to the breakage of the studs, weak - an emergency situation, unscrewing the wheel.

In dry, sunny weather, cast aluminum wheels are least susceptible to external damage. But in slush, ice, when the road is strewn with various chemicals, the rim is most susceptible to corrosion. This provokes paint peeling and destruction of the molecular composition.

Wash your wheels as they get dirty. Since it is unlikely that you can clean it properly with a rag, use high-pressure compressors. Equipment of this class is available at many service stations, workshops, and service centers.

Systematic polishing allows you to get rid of scratches and burrs. First clean the wheel from dirt, dry it thoroughly, and then treat it with a chemical. Wipe several times with a microfiber cloth.

Store the wheels in a hanging position without touching each other. Pre-clean them, dry them, and wrap them in cellophane.

Some motorists practice applying an aerosol to the surface before preservation. However, this is a purely personal decision of the owner.

Options

In addition to the material and method of production of the structure, you should inquire about the installation width of the rim, as well as the mounting diameter. It is necessary to determine how these indicators are designated:

• J - width in inches;
• 15, 16, 17 - diameter in inches;
• 5×112 - number of bolts (5) and diameter of the circle on which the mounting holes are located - PCD in mm (112);
• ET — offset in mm;
• DIA is the diameter of the central hole in mm.

It is difficult to distinguish the size of the developments by appearance. They look like R17 although they are size 16. Such developments ensure safety on wet asphalt. Skoda Replica Replay SK105 6.5x16/5x112 D57.1 ET50 is a new series from the manufacturer Skoda.

What kind of disks can be installed?

In the basic configuration, stamped steel disks are installed, on which branded decorative caps of two types are mounted: Avantgarda caps are installed on “stampings” of the 15th radius (6.0Jx15), Gaspra caps are installed on stamped disks of the 16th radius (6.5Jx16).

The manufacturer offers models of alloy wheels for installation on the Octavia A7, differing from each other not only in radius and parameters, but also in design and a wide range of colors. You can find the following original discs:

• 16R: Star (5-spoke wheel, 6.0Jx16 ET 46, silver), Minoris (10-spoke wheel, 6.5Jx16 ET 46, silver), Ilias (5-spoke wheel, 6.5Jx16 ET 46, silver), Premia (10-spoke wheel, 6.5Jx16, color scheme: white and black), Velorum (5-spoke wheel, 6.5Jx16 ET, silver color).

• 17R – Crystal (10-spoke wheel, size 6.0Jx17, silver color, recommended by the manufacturer for use in winter), Trius (10-spoke wheel, size 7.0Jx17 ET 49 and colors: silver and black), Teron (wheel on 10-spoke, 7.0Jx17, silver), Denom (5-spoke wheel, 7.0Jx17 ET 49, white and silver-black), Hawk (10-spoke wheel, size 7.0Jx17 ET 49, color: silver)

• 18R – Turini (15-spoke wheel, size 7.5Jx18 ET 51, colors: white, silver and graphite), Golus (5-spoke wheel, size 7.5Jx18, silver), Gemini (10-spoke wheel, size 7.5Jx18 ET 51 and colors: anthracite, silver and black) and Alaris (10-spoke wheel, size 7.5Jx18, silver color).

Denom and Gemini wheels are also suitable for the A5 version of the Octavia. Alloy wheels of the Denom brand are in great demand. The quality of these discs is confirmed by test results.

For alloy wheel models Minoris, Ilias, Denom, Gemini, the manufacturer provides the possibility of installing snow chains.

The selection of tires will be carried out depending on the size of the wheels. For R15 wheels, tires with dimensions 195/65 are suitable, for R16 wheels tires with dimensions 205/55 will be mounted, and for R17 tires will be sized 225/45. The most popular tires are from manufacturers such as Continental, Dunlop, Michelin. Among the “casting” wheels, 16-radius wheels are in great demand among car owners.
