There's an ebay seller who can send you all your build codes for about 3 Euros. Search "skoda factory options decoder" to find the listing.

It's not about what size spacers, but what offset to use. Spacers change the offset of a rim. So if you have rims with an offset of ET51 and use 10mm spacers, that would change the effective offset of those rims to ET41. If you have rims with an offset of ET54 and used 15mm spacers, that would change the effective offset of those rims to ET39. Using spacers with an offset of less than 10mm is a bad idea, because you can't get spacers that are hubcentric if they are less than 10mm. Hubcentric spacers centre the rim on the hub, thereby helping to prevent vibration. Avoid spacers that are not hubcentric, ie. don't centre the rim on the hub, as this can lead to wheel vibration. The offset of standard rims on the Octavia MK2 range from ET47 to ET54. For the front rims, it's important to keep near to the design offsets or you can get problems with the steering such as bump steer. Using an offset within the standard range will mean that when you turn the steering wheel the front tyres pivot on the centre of the tread. By using offsets outside the design limits, the front tyres will be dragged sidewalls when you turn the steering wheel rather the pivoting on their centre. Power steering might not let you feel this happening, but if you didn't have power steering the steering feel when you turned the steering wheel at low speed might not feel good. I suggest you keep to offsets between ET42 and ET54, perhaps by using rims that have the offset that you want rather than using spacers. Here are some 8Jx18 ET44 alloy rims from the VW EOS, perhaps used in combination with 225/40R18 tyres. 225/40R18 fitted to 8J rims won't give much protection from kerbing damage, and the low profile tyres fitted to the relatively wide 8J rims won't give you much comfort. 8Jx18 ET44 5/112 57.1 alloy rims (from the VW EOS) 3C0601025AN 3AA601025L 3AA601025H 3C0601025AP 3C0601025AC 3C0601025BA 1 3C0601025AN Aluminium rim 'CHICAGO' 8 JX18H2 ET44 5/112 4 PR-CH8 - 3C0601025AN16Z Grey metallic 1 3AA601025L Aluminium rim 'VICENZA' 8 JX18H2 ET44 5/112 4 PR-C0J 3AA601025L AX1 black-glossy 1 3AA601025H Aluminium rim 'KANSAS' 8 JX18H2 ET44 5/112 4 PR-C1Q 3AA601025H 88Z Diamond silver 1 3C0601025AP Aluminium rim 'BUDAPEST' 8 JX18H2 ET44 4 PR-F30 3C0601025APAX1 black-glossy 1 3C0601025AC Aluminium rim 'VERACRUZ' 8 JX18H2 ET44 4 PR-CC9 3C0601025AC88Z Bright chrome 1 3C0601025BA Aluminium rim 'SARMAKAND' 8 JX18H2 ET44 4 PR-CH9 3C0601025BAQQ9 Titanium (grey) https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/vw/RDW/EOS/712/6/601/601065

On that ebay listing, the seller claims those rear shock absorbers have OEM part number 3Q0513045AD and 3Q0512009AF. It can't be both, it's either one or the other. The seller has also stuck new white sticky labels on them showing 3Q0512009AF. This isn't the correct OEM part number for the Superb MK3, and even if it was you would need to see that the OEM part number was stamped into the metal of the shock absorbers to prove that the shock absorbers really had that OEM part number. The seller also claims that mileage is both 19,845km and 24,600km and the age is both 2018 and 2019. which seem very low for a 3 or 4 year old car. Who knows what the mileage really is, and how old the car they came off really is. At least in the UK, you could ask for registration number of the car they came off and check the MOT history for the mileage, although that wouldn't prove that they really did come off that car. Why did the owner of the car change them. He clearly wouldn't have gone to the massive expense of replacing them if he was happy with them. The seller claims that they are for a Superb MK3 and a VW Passat B8. These cars use different OEM part numbers for the rear shock absorbers, and are not the same. The seller sticking new white sticky labels on both rear shock absorbers is a red flag. Perhaps he is deliberately hiding the real OEM part number underneath.

You might find it interesting to look again at the TRW BHN952 listing on autodoc. But this time change the car from Octavia MK2 2.0TDI 170HP RS to VW Golf MK5 2.0 petrol GTI 200HP. The below information comes up. Notice that this time the build code is shown as 1KY. The same build code is also shown when the car is changed to Seat Leon II 2.0 petrol CUPRA R 265HP. More importantly for these VW and Seat models, the OEM part numbers are also correct, which isn't the case for the Skoda.

TRW is probably where autodoc got the mistake from. autodoc simply repeated TRW's mistake on their website. autodoc don't make up all these details themselves, they import them from the various aftermarket parts' brands. It's a bit like the old computer saying...garbage in, garbage out. Using the number plate or even the VIN on one of these online aftermarket parts' websites is a recipe for disaster. The number of mistakes that these websites make is legendary. I always search using the correct OEM part number. That's the most reliable way to find the correct aftermarket parts. Even then, you need to be wary of aftermarket parts that are sold to replace more than one OEM part number as this could mean that the aftermarket part isn't an exact match to the OEM part number. Caveat emptor, as they say in Latin.

Here is autodoc's incorrect claim that TRW BHN952 (38mm piston) is for build code 1KP. You can see from the OEM part numbers at the bottom of this autodoc listing that it is sold to replace 1K0615424F and 1K0615424P (38mm piston). The Octavia MK2 with build code 1KP uses OEM part numbers 1Z0615424, 1Z0615424A, and 1K0615424M (41mm piston).

If you search for any of the below three OEM part numbers on autodoc, you will see that they all use 41mm pistons.

They are so similar that they even use the same brake pads, the same brake caliper carrier, and the same discs. The 38mm piston version is used on cars such as the VW Golf MK5 GTI. The 41mm piston version is used on cars such as the Octavia MK2, Superb MK2, and Yeti. The 38mm piston version does not have build code 1KP, although autodoc has made a mistake on one of its listings and incorrectly claims that it does have build code 1KP.

The rear brake calipers with build code 1KP have 41mm pistons. TRW BHN952 has a 38mm piston, and is sold to replace OEM part numbers 1K0615424F and 1K0615424P. Build code 1KP doesn't use either of those OEM part numbers.

These OEM part numbers are correct for an Octavia MK2 that has build code 1KP for the rear brakes. The Skoda parts catalogue lists the 1KP build code for the RS, and 1KP is for the biggest 282x12mm rear brake discs. So there seems little doubt that build code 1KP is what the RS has.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 has the 3PMSF symbol, so is officially a winter rated tyre. Winter rated tyres can have a lower speed rating than the maximum speed of the car. However, that's academic with the Michelin CrossClimate 2 as 225/50R17 98V XL (Euro label B B 71dB) is the lowest speed rating for this tyre. Michelin CrossClimate 2 as 225/50R17 98V XL (Euro label B B 71dB) https://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/michelin/crossclimate-2/225/50/R17/V/98/m?tyre=42160812 By using a 98Y XL in that size, you are over-specifying the tyre. This means that the tyre will be stiffer and heavier than it needs to be, resulting in a reduction in ride comfort, ie. the ride will be harder. If you look at the winter tyres in size 225/50R17 that are listed on camskill, you will see that none have a speed index greater than V (240km/h, 150mph). This isn't surprising, as if you drive at 168mph or 186mph on winter tyres on a hot summer's day they are likely to overheat and fail. 225/50R17 winter tyres listed on camskill https://www.camskill.co.uk/m97b0s1472p0/Winter_-_Snow_-_Cold_Weather_-_Car_MPV_Tyres_-_17_inch_R17_inch_-_225_50_17_225_50R17

They certainly are much cheaper and according to a Kamiq owner (on the below thread) who has tried all three standard sizes, ie. 205/60R16, 205/55R17, 215/45R18, much more comfortable. Vredestein Quatrac 205/60R16 96H XL https://www.camskill.co.uk/m139b0s8005p201101/Vredestein_Tyres_All_Season_Car_Vredestein_Quatrac_6_-_205_60_R16_96H_XL_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_C_Wet_Grip%3A_B_NoiseClass%3A_B_Noise%3A_70dB

Here's a previous thread where a Kamiq owner was very pleased with the ride improvement when he changed from 215/45R18 tyres to 205/55R17 tyres. Can I change from 18" wheels to 16" wheels?

Anyone who drives across muddy fields and muddy tracks in the summer could get stuck if they don't have all-terrain tyres. For winter it's probably best to change to something with the 3PMSF symbol. All-terrain tyres don't appear to be available in the 205/60R16, 205/55R17, and 215/45R18 tyre sizes...at least not Bridgestone or Yokohama.

Although you still feel the road surface with 205/60R16 and 205/55R17 tyres, compared to 215/45R18 these bigger sidewalled tyre sizes will make the road bumps feel softer, ie. give a better ride. Keep going to even higher sidewalled 205/70R15 tyres, perhaps fitted to 6Jx15 ET35 or 6Jx15 ET38 rims, and the Kamiq could start to ride like a Rolls Royce. Compared to the 205/70R15 tyre size, the 215/45R18 tyre size is often twice the price.

The 205/70R15 tyre size was fitted to late model Jaguar E-type cars and early model Jaguar XJS cars.

All fast fit tyre places use a wheel balancer that dynamically balances the wheel. Using a dynamic wheel balancing machine is very simple, as the machine tells the operator where to put the wheel weights. If the wheel balancer is spinning the wheel around using an electric motor to work out where the two wheel weights need to go, then that is dynamic balancing.

The Superb MK2 normally uses a 7Jx16 ET45 rim for its 205/55R16 tyre size. However, compared to a 225/45R17 tyre the 205/55R16 option can look a bit sunken in the wheelarch. Therefore, other rims that you might want to consider include the 6Jx16 ET40 rim from the Superb MK1 and the 6.5Jx16 ET41 rim from the Superb MK3. 6Jx16 ET40 5/112 57.1 steel rim (from the Superb MK1) https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=180495828815717488&rimCode=ALCAR9490 6.5Jx16 ET41 5/112 57.1 steel rim (from the Superb MK3) https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=1035468374024787056&rimCode=ALCAR8426 Superb MK2 16" alloy rims 1 3T0601025 Aluminium rim 7JX16 ET45 4 SPECTRUM - 3T0601025 7ZS chrome coloured metallic 2 3T0601025N Aluminium rim 7JX16 ET45 4 MOON 3T0601025N 7ZS chrome coloured metallic https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/632/6/601/601060 Superb MK2 16" steel rims 1 3C0601027M Steel rim 7JX16H2 ET45 5/112 4 PR-CH3 - 3C0601027M 03C rally black - 1 3C0601027AQ Steel rim 7 JX16H2 ET45 5/112 4 - 3C0601027AQ03C rally black https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/632/6/601/601010 Superb MK2 17" alloy rims 1 3T0601025B Aluminium rim 7JX17 ET49 4 VENUS - 3T0601025B 7ZS chrome coloured metallic 2 3T0601025C Aluminium rim D >> - 29.05.2011 7,5JX17 ET49 4 CALLISTO 3T0601025C 7ZS chrome coloured metallic D >> - 29.05.2011 2 3T0601025CA Aluminium rim D - 30.05.2011>> 7,5JX17 ET49 4 CALLISTO PR-C4F 3T0601025CAHA7 Anthracite metallic (grey) D - 30.05.2011>> 3 3T0601025D Aluminium rim 7,5JX17 ET49 4 TRIFID 3T0601025D 7ZS chrome coloured metallic 5 3T0601025G Aluminium rim 7,5JX17 ET49 4 LAUREL 3T0601025G 7ZS chrome coloured metallic https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/632/6/601/601070

If you want to look at sports suspension for your 2016 Superb MK3 2.0TDI 190HP estate 4x4, then I suggest finding a similar car that left the factory with sports suspension. Perhaps try local Skoda dealers and see if they have one on their premises. This might be a Sportline model if these are fitted with 15mm lowered suspension. However, it would need to be a similar car to yours, ie. Superb MK3 2.0TDI 150HP/190HP/200HP estate 4x4. Once you find a suitable car to copy, take a photo of its VIN number. You might be able to see the VIN number through the windscreen. Once you have a VIN number of a suitable car to copy, get a list of its build codes. There's a seller on ebay that can find the build codes for any Skoda by sending him the VIN number. Cost is about 3 Euros. Search "vin decoder skoda" on ebay to find the listing. Of course, any Skoda dealer could obtain the VIN codes for any Skoda if they wanted to, but my local Skoda dealer doesn't deal with people who aren't in the motor trade, eg. Skoda owners. Apparently, it's trade only. Even if your find the build codes of a suitable car with sports/lowered suspension to copy, the aftermarket springs/shock absorbers are mainly aimed at standard ride height cars. Often, the same aftermarket shock absorbers are sold for both standard ride height cars and lowered ride height cars. Also, the sports suspension car might also use different anti-roll bars. I suggest you stick to the standard ride height. With the sports suspension, unless you use all the same springs, shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars that the sports suspension car left the factory with, the ride and handling might not be as good as the factory car. Even if you use expensive aftermarket sports shock absorbers such as Bilstein B8, you don't know if they will match up well with the stiffness of your sports springs because Bilstein will probably just sell one model of Bilstein B8 (non-damptronic) even though the stiffness of aftermarket sports springs can vary a lot. For example H&R are known to be very stiff, whereas you might find some sports springs with a similar stiffness to standard ride height springs.

Most of the possible OEM part numbers for the shock absorbers on your car aren't listed against Bilstein B4 shock absorbers on autodoc.

2UC Sports suspension L18 front springs 5Q0411105HE G03 front shock absorbers 5Q0413023FH (50mm struts) 5Q0413023FJ (50mm struts) 5Q0413023FK (50mm struts) 5Q0413031FP (55mm struts) Are the struts on your front shock absorbers 50mm or 55mm? Because your car was manufactured before 25.05.2015 it would appear from the Skoda parts catalogue that your front shock absorbers have 55mm struts. You are only showing about 45 build codes. This is not the full list, as your car might have around 180 build codes. Can you get a printout of all your build codes from a local Skoda dealer if you don't want to go the ebay or "erwin skoda" route?

That's the one.

The big 310x22mm rear discs are ventilated and only fitted to the 2.0 petrol 245HP VRS model. The 253x10mm and 272x10mm rear brake discs are solid. Have you got a white label in the spare wheel well area under the carpet with some of the build codes on? If so, just take a photo and post it up. Unfortunately, Skoda may have stopped fitting those white labels under the carpet in the spare wheel well area around 2015/16 so you might not have one. Another way to tell is too measure the outside diameter of the rear brake discs. It should be easy to tell the difference between a 253mm and 272mm diameter. From your photo it looks like you have 253x10mm rear brake discs because of the shape of the brake pads. What engine do you have?
