in one word "idiots" and 18" can't be changed to smaller for 280ps 4x4 + L&K/Scout/Sportline while 280ps 4x4 + Ambition/Elegance comes with 17" Stratos in next 2023. car i will swap spare wheel from current car, 18" as spare wheel is worst of all choices -> https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/503478-installing-spare-wheel/?tab=comments#comment-5653889

ordered yesterday L&K 280 Sportline has less equipment with €1.5k higher price missing equipment for me: L&K - Black Exterior pack, interested at least for doors, because "chrome" dies so fast. Sportline - Vented seats, Safety lights for rear doors, phone/tablet holder under headrest both can't be ordered with 17" alloys 😞

16" will be better choice -> https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/502386-spare-wheel/?tab=comments#comment-5640572

@Donweather measure better to center of wheel, then result won't depend on disc and tire sizes example -> https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485647-bilstein-b6-dcc-shock-absorbers-available-at-last/?do=findComment&comment=5625462

Perfectly, have installed 225/55r17 97Y Michelin Primacy 3 in far 2017

225/55r17 is perfect choice +1.5% in diameter what gives less wheel spin on the wet and closer to reality values on speedometer, -2km for each 100km, default is -5km +5mm in height what gives ground clearance +10mm in width what gives better grip 5mm wider side, better protection for alloys

yes, without visit CAR -> Settings -> Light most of time i have `Late` but in the evening, for me very rarely, i have to switch to `Early` in other case High beam can be activate only manually 175Mb video http://www.superfm.lv/m/Auto/Superb_2016/20190825_no_Automatic_Highbeam_02.mp4 ~ 15 minutes later it started to work automatically also with parameter `Late`

found it https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/368574-vcds-options-on-superb-iii/page/69/?tab=comments#comment-5338494 it's perfect for DRL/Xenon switching, but extremely too late for automatic High Beam, sometime have to visit subsection in head unit and change 'Late' to 'Early'

that is real pain, when you to drive ~80 kms without Cruise Control and have to keep less speed than flow really can't understand where is problem, twice click on links i posted above - Pros and Cons have been described already: a) same size as all other wheels + can be installed on any axle + can be used for longer distances + no size diff = no speed limits + Cruise control will be available - boot floor will be pushed few cm up - most expensive b) custom 205/65r16 (my choice) + minor width diff will provide safe driving on + 30% of speed printed on spare disc. Important note, when installed on rear axle. + minor circumference diff will provide ability of Cruise control usage. In theory, i haven't had to use this spare after tire were changed. + fits in it's place, doesn't change size of boot. c) OEM 205/55r16 + lot wider than 'd' = safer than 'd', but don't think printed speed limit can be exceed more than + 10%, even when installed on rear axle. + fits in it's place, doesn't change size of boot - huge circumference difference disables usage of Cruise Control - huge circumference difference isn't healthy for 4x4 d) OEM 125/70r18 + fits in it's place, doesn't change size of boot - huge width difference = absolutely unsafe, even when installed or rear axle. - huge circumference difference disables usage of Cruise Control - huge circumference difference isn't healthy for 4x4

closest is 205/65r16, open links in this link -> https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/500478-skoda-superb-sportline-2017-spare-wheel/?tab=comments#comment-5618089

it's more about safety, fogs are brighter than brakes - when rear driver's eyes adapt to bright fog light then weaker brake light may go unnoticed

@Legion measuring to center of wheel will exclude difference created by size of tire and disc Sportline DCC isn't the same as optional Sport suspension huge count of pictures -> https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/485647-bilstein-b6-dcc-shock-absorbers-available-at-last/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/481954-lowering-springs-install-on-a-280272-sportline-diy-and-results/ https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/488315-has-anyone-tried-or-installed-the-koni-special-active/
