No rubbing problem with 10J ET55, don't worry. Just...worry about the price of the tyre for 10J wheel..... -

I'm currently using 8.5J, in my opinion it's best width for Superb. If you choose Vossen you can use different width on the back wheels eg. 8.5J front and 9.5jor10j back. It will bring you a significant look of your car. My last wheels are 8.5J on the front and 10J on the back. Just like the photos you post, they are all large width on the back wheels, you can realize the curve of the spoke, back wheels are much hollow than the front. But the bad thing is you have to buy different size of tyres. -

This model is Vossen's CVT and it starts with 19", so this is replica. 19" is great, 18" looks weird.... My last wheel set. -

No problem with 19" wheels, it won't touch your chassis if your ET profile are correct. Not even close. I've change my suspension to lower my car, and it still fine. Recommend that your wheels ET profile LARGER than 35 to avoid pop out too much. Pop out of wheels in my country can fail the car examination which need to perform every year. My wheels on the photo is ET35 with a little pop out but pass the examination. I'm using Davanti 235/35/ZR19 which cost me about NT$4500 per tyre, around USD$145. I'm considering to change to Michelin Pilot Sport4 next time, but the price will be DOUBLE! -

8j will be fine, rubbing problem depends on what wheel size you use. I'm using 8.5j with 235/35/19 without any problem. BTW, you should also notice about the ET size of the rim. Normally ET size between 30 and 55 is OK, otherwise you may need spacers to avoid damage to the suspension. -

I've recently finish changing my rims, rims profile are 19" 8.5J ET35 for all 4 wheels. Tyre profile is 235/35/ZR19. Just for reference. -

I've recently renew my tyres, and I got my rims profile. It's Front: 8.5J/et45 Rear:9.5J/et45. I'm using 235/35/R19 on all 4 wheels, so the rear wheels are stretched out. I think different height tyre won't trigger the alarm, just your speedometer will not be correct. But if you just using on rear wheel, I think it's not a matter (if your superb isn't 4WD). For my Superb 2013, Skoda factory recommend is 235/35 while using 19" rims. By the way, I'm considering change my rims because two of them are deformed a little bit. And I also like my current Vossen CVT rims, it's hard to decide to replace them -

Yes, just different with offset and the width. I really don't remember the ETs, 35/32 or 32/35 or others haha. 235/35/19 are the size recommended by the Skoda factory while using 19 rims, otherwise your speedometer won't be correct. I mean the circumference of the wheel, 235/35 has 2032.9mm for the circumference. Just don't using the tyres that are too big or too small, something near 2032 will be better. Wide tyres are expensive though, so I use 235/35. But my tyres stretch out a lot at the rear..... -

It's been changed for a long time. I can't remember the exact number of the ETs. It's about front/rear 8.5/9.5 35/32. I use 235/35/ZR19 tyres (all 4 wheels are the same). No rubbing problem. I can easily drive to the underground parking lot. -

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. Here is my Superb combi 2013 TDI. Sorry for the bad image quality, I use iphone to take the photo. Just wondering will 8.5J et32 rims fit to my car? Considering to buy Audi S5 factory rim to change my current Vossen CVT rims. Please give my some advise.
