So is too big for the Fabia MK3 and Rapid. Also, 225/45R17 is likely to rub on the Fabia MK3 and Rapid. Outside diameter of tyre 215/40R17 603.8mm 225/45R17 634.3mm (+5.1%) If you're looking for slightly oversize tyres, then 195/60R15 fitted to the standard 6Jx15 ET38 5/100 57.1 rims would be a good choice. One advantage of the 195/60R15 tyre size is that it's an economical tyre size. One advantage of 15" rims is that they are lightweight.

Looking at the Skoda UK configurator, the standard size wheels for the different Fabia MK4 models are as follows. 15" wheels SE Comfort 16" wheels Color Edition SE L 17" wheels Monte Carlo In Poland and perhaps many other EU countries, the Monte Carlo comes with more sensible 16" wheels even if you select the most powerful 150HP engine.

The following space saver rim with OEM part number 1J0601027M could be used with a 125/70R18 tyre on the Kamiq/Scala, etc. This OEM part number goes back a long way...at least 1997 when it was used with cars such as the VW Golf MK4. Some of the used ones sold on ebay have very old tyres that are over 20 years old. However, if a full size wheel fits in the spare wheel well with the carpet flush, there seems little point using a skinny space saver. 3.5Jx18 ET38 5/100 57.1 steel space saver rim 1J0601027M

Both the alloy and steel rims use the same wheel bolts.

The Tiguan MK2 came out in 2016. If yours is a 2020 Tiguan, I doubt it is the Tiguan MK1. The Tiguan MK1 came out in 2007. VW Tiguan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Tiguan

The standard Kamiq tyre sizes have an outside diameter between 11.9% and 13.1% larger than the far too small 125/70R16, as shown in the chart below. Up to 1.5% difference is generally regarded as small and insignificant. Up to 5% difference is a big difference, but may be acceptable as a temporary get you home measure. More than 5% difference is too big. Outside diameter of tyre 125/70R16 581.4mm 205/60R16 652.4mm (+12.2%) 205/55R17 657.3mm (+13.1%) 215/45R18 650.7mm (+11.9%) However, you could change the 125/70R16 to a 135/90R16 as shown in the chart below.

Alcar 6664 6Jx16 ET35 5/100 57.1 steel rim https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=1164478471326422116&rimCode=ALCAR6664 I suggest you order the below foam and jack kit from a VAG parts department using the OEM part number 658093860A. However, check with them to make sure that this is correct for your car. At about £40, it is surprisingly good value and includes everything except for the actual spare wheel. Once you have the kit, you can see how one of your current full size wheel fit...and take it from there. Foam and jack kit for Kamiq 658093860A (everything except for the actual spare wheel) (1,029CZK is about £36.63) https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/sada-pro-vymenu-rezervniho-kola/p/658093860A To give you an idea of how much room the standard wheel sizes will take up, I have compiled the following chart. Note that the actual inflated width of a tyre always depends on the rim width to which it is fitted. As you can see in the chart below, the actual inflated widths of the standard tyre sizes on the Kamiq are all within 5mm of each other. Actual inflated width of tyre 205/60R16 fitted to 6J rim 209mm 205/55R17 fitted to 6.5J rim 214mm 215/45R18 fitted to 7J rim 213mm

Does your Fabia MK2 VRS have build code 1ZD for the front brakes? If the answer is yes, then you just need the carrier. You can use either OEM part number 6C0615125 or 6R0615125B for the carrier. You might find that only one of these OEM part numbers is available to order from a VAG parts department. If you don't know your car's build codes, you can get them from an ebay seller for about 3 Euros. There might be around 180 build codes, and each build code is a 3-digit code made up of numbers and letters, ie. alphanumeric. "skoda vin decoder" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224631127243 You can use the "vw codes decoder" to find out what each build code means. Build codes are useful for finding out what equipment was fitted to the car in the factory.

On "skoda eshop cz" the Velorum with OEM part number 5E0071496L 8Z8 is listed at 4,399CZK (about £156.61). https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/alu-kola/c/alloyWheels?q=%3ApriceAsc%3AcarType%3AOctavia%2BIII%2B%282012-2017%29%3ArimDiameter%3A16%22&text=# If that doesn't sound particularly expensive, it's because Skoda alloy rims with the OEM part number format xxx071xxx are from the Skoda accessory catalogue. By contrast, Skoda alloy rims with the xxx061xxx format are from the Skoda parts catalogue, so tend to cost a lot more...often more than twice the price...for what is often essentially the same rim. I expect this is simply Skoda's attempt to compete on price with aftermarket alloy rims. In the Skoda parts catalogue, the Velorum is listed with the OEM part number 5E0601025C 8Z8, ie. using the xxx601xxx format. 5E0071496L 8Z8 and 5E0601025C 8Z8 appear to be the same rim. 8Z8 is the associated 3-digit colour code. 8Z8 means silver. If you do purchase Skoda alloy rims from their accessory catalogue, it's best to choice a style and colour that was commonly supplied on factory cars. That way, should you need a single replacement if a rim gets damaged (and Skoda have stopped selling that particular model in their accessory catalogue), there should be plenty of secondhand ones available on places like ebay. As you can imagine, most secondhand Skoda rims use the xxx601xxx format and not the xxx701xxx format, because most secondhand Skoda rims for sale came from factory supplied Skoda cars and not the Skoda accessory catalogue. 2 5E0601025C Aluminium rim 6.5Jx16 ET46 4 PR-C3N VELORUM 5E0601025C 8Z8 Diamond silver https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/753/6/601/601060

6.5Jx16 ET46 5/112 57.1 is the standard 16" rim size on the Octavia MK3, and is normally used with a 205/55R16 tyre size. You can see the Velorum listed here. https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/alu-kola/c/alloyWheels?q=%3ApriceAsc%3AcarType%3AOctavia%2BIII%2B%282017%2B%29%3ArimDiameter%3A16%22&text=#

It will fit the Audi A1 MK1, Seat Ibiza MK4, Skoda Fabia MK2, VW Polo MK5. The 310x25mm 5/100 front brake disc is a newer design than the 312x25mm 5/100 front brake disc. The older Brembo 312x25mm has a minimum thickness of 23mm, whereas the newer Brembo 310x25mm has a minimum thickness of 22mm. This means that the newer design might last 50% longer.

As far as I know, ATE is a German company (owned by Continental tyres) and Brembo is a Chinese company. The diameter of the front wheel hub flange is 126.5mm, and the H dimension is 133.8mm on the ATE 310x25mm front brake disc. It's going to fit easily.

The Fabia MK2 uses the same 1K0615123M and 1K0615124M front brake calipers with 288x25mm front brakes discs, so just a change of carrier is needed to convert to 310x25mm front brake discs on the Fabia MK2. 310x25mm front brake carrier 6C0615125 https://www.oemvwshop.com/6c0615125-calliper-carrier-p396739/

Don't you mean 310x25mm front brake discs? Does your Fabia MK2 VRS have build code 1KD for the front brakes? If so, then you have an ATE front brake system. ATE don't make 312x25mm 5/100 front brake discs that will fit the Fabia MK2. They are 310x25mm as shown below.

The Bilstein B6 non-DCC shock absorbers for the Superb MK3 are particularly high quality because they are a mono-tube design. By comparison, the Bilstein B6 DCC shock absorbers for the Superb MK3 are the inferior twin-tube design. No wonder, there's been a huge improvement. Sadly, many Superb MK3 owners have DCC shock absorbers so won't be able to experience the excellent and superior mono-tube design.

That ebay listing is for 280x22mm front brake discs. If you've got a Yeti 2.0TDI 150HP, you've probably got 288x25mm front brake discs.

As you can see in the chart below, there might only be 5mm difference in the inflated tyre width between a 205/55R16 and 225/45R17. The "205" and "225" marked on the sidewall is just the nomimal width of the tyre. The actual width of the inflated tyre always depends on the rim width to which it is fitted. Notice that if 205/55R16 and 225/45R17 are both fitted to a 7J rim, the 205 tyre is actually wider than the 225 tyre. Actual width of inflated tyre 205/55R16 fitted to 6.5J rim 214mm 205/55R16 fitted to 7J rim 220mm 225/45R17 fitted to 7J rim 219mm 225/45R17 fitted to 7.5J rim 225mm

The VW Tiguan MK2 and Skoda Kodiaq both use the MQB A2 chassis. The VW T-Roc and Skoda Karoq both use the MQB A1 chassis. The VW T-Cross and Skoda Kamiq both use the MQB A0 chassis.

I normally use all-season tyres, as they have a lot more grip than summer tyres below about 7 degrees Centigrade. However, if you want summer touring tyres then Michelin Primacy 4+ work quite well above about 7 degrees Centigrade.

Complete secondhand subframes are available on ebay, which might be suitable if the subframe has broken through corrosion. The labour cost of fitting will be more than the parts. If you go this route, it makes sense to chose as new a car as possible. The one in this photo came from a 2010 Octavia MK2. New subframes are also available, but then you don't get any of the associated parts if any of these need changing...such as wishbones.

The Octavia MK2 has independent rear suspension, not a beam axle. Can you take a photo of the part that is broken? Perhaps the upper wishbone (13), lower wishbone (7), or the axle guide (2). Broken rear springs are very common. When you say the wheel suddenly went inwards, do you mean that it looked like the rear spring was suddenly fully compressed? If so, this is most likely a broken spring. If you don't have a factory fitted towbar, then gknautomotive thinks you have rear springs with OEM part number 1K0511115BF. These springs have 1 white dot, and 3 yellow dots. https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/OCT/419/5/505/505005

On google maps, the factory shows up as Federal Mogul Friction Products Ltd, Chapel-en-le-Frith. So it appears that the name Federal Mogul is still in use, but under the Apollo umbrella.

There's another company shown on the Companies House website that was called G. B. Tools & Components Exports Limited when it changed its name to Ferodo Limited in 2008. It's shown as a non-trading company, so presumably this is being used to prevent anyone else calling themselves Ferodo.

The early Octavia MK3 2.0TDI VRS were fitted with 340x30mm front brake discs, the later ones were fitted with smaller 312x25mm front brake discs. Minimum thickness is 27mm for the 340x30mm discs, and 22mm for the 312x25mm discs, ie. 3mm of allowable wear for both discs.

The brand "Ferodo" has been bought and sold a number of times since 1998, when it ceased to be a British company. I suspect Turner & Newall sold out to Federal-Mogul in 1998 because of massive asbestos claims and a £400 million pension deficit. In 2001, this caused the American buyer Federal-Mogul to put their company into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in America. So it seems that "Ferodo" (or the company that owned the brand, ie. Turner & Newall) had the business ethics and moral compass of the notorious Robert Maxwell. This is another shameful part of UK history, where UK politicians allowed businesses to cause serious and permanent damage to the health of their workers and allowed UK businesses to steal the pensions of their workers.

According to Jurid on autodoc, the Octavia MK3 1.4 petrol 140HP has 288x25mm front brakes with build code 1ZE and 253x10mm rear brakes with build code 1KD. Build codes 1ZE and 1KD are both TRW brake systems, so perhaps use TRW brake pads. To search for front brakes pads 1ZE you can use OEM part number 8V0698151, and to search for rear brake pads 1KD you can use OEM part number 5Q0698451A or 5Q0698451M.

On the Kodiaq, there are three different front brake sizes. 16" rims will clear the front brake calipers on all front brake disc sizes, except the biggest 340x30mm front brake discs which need at least 17" rims. Kodiaq front brake sizes 312x25mm (16" rims will clear the front brake calipers) 314x30mm (16" rims will clear the front brake calipers) 340x30mm (17" rims will clear the front brake calipers) Note that 16" wheels aren't approved by Skoda for fitment to the Kodiaq. However, with almost 6" of sidewall the 215/70R16 tyre size could prove useful for going off-road/muddy tracks, etc. Vredestein Quatrac 6 215/70R16 100H https://www.camskill.co.uk/m139b0s12700p201645/Vredestein_Tyres_All_Season_Car_Vredestein_Quatrac_6_215_70_R16_100H_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_B_NoiseClass%3A_B_Noise%3A_71dB Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 215/70R16 100H https://www.camskill.co.uk/m62b0s13231p148267/Yokohama_Tyres_Car_Yokohama_Geolandar_AT_G015_215_70_R16_100H_RPB_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_E_Wet_Grip%3A_C_NoiseClass%3A_B_Noise%3A_70dB Alcar 9922 6.5Jx16 ET33 5/112 57.1 steel rim (from 2007-2016 VW Tiguan) https://www.oponeo.pl/felga-stalowa/alcar-kfz-9922#23375120

It won't be 312x25mm, because the 1.6TDI doesn't have enough power. Even the Octavia MK3 2.0TDI 150HP only uses 288x25mm front brake discs. It is either 276x24mm or 288x25mm depending on the car's build code for the front brakes. Build code 1ZF means 276x24mm, and build code 1ZE means 288x25mm. You might have a white build code label under the carpet near the spare wheel well. This has some of the build codes on.
