Octavia MkIII brake disc and pads required
The 288mm and 253mm brakes are both TRW. OEM part number for the front brake pads is 8V0698151 http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615020/part_id/2550123/lang/e OEM part number for the rear brake pads is 5Q0698451A http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615060/part_id/2550123/lang/e These OEM numbers can help with finding suitable aftermarket replacements.

Karoq 4x4 spare wheel kit
It looks like the space saver is 125/70R18 https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/kompletni-rezervni-kolo-18/p/57A601011E 125/70R18 has an outside diameter of 632.2mm 225/45R19 has an outside diameter of 685.1mm So the 225/45R19 has an outside diameter 8.4% bigger than the space saver. The difference seems far too much as the 125/70R18 will be rotating much faster than the other three tyres. Maybe use a 135/80R18 which has a 673.2mm outside diameter. The outside diameter of a 225/45R19 tyre is only 1.7% bigger than a 135/80R18. https://www.mytyres.co.uk/search?sortCode=none&minPrice=&maxPrice=&season=So&width=135&profile=80&size=18&speedRating=&loadIndex=&brand=&priceCategory=recommended&isRunflat=&reinforced=&cTire=&rimProtection=&sealLayer=&noiseReduction=&businessReviews=false&clientReviewsRating=&vehicleTypes=PKW&vehicleTypes=RACE_PKW&vehicleTypes=LLKW&vehicleTypes=VINTAGE_PKW&vehicleTypes=OFF The 135/80R18 could be fitted to the same 3.5Jx18 ET25.5 rim as the 125/70R18 tyre.

Octavia MkIII brake disc and pads required
The Octavia MK3 has four different diameter front brake discs. 276mm, 288mm, 312mm, 340mm. Build code 1ZF = 276mm http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615010/part_id/2547315/lang/e Build code 1ZE = 288mm http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615020/part_id/2550123/lang/e Build code 1ZA or 1ZB = 312mm http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615025/part_id/2550123/lang/e http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615030/part_id/2550123/lang/e Build code 1LG = 340mm http://www.oemepc.com/skoda/part_single/catalog/sk/markt/CZ/modell/OCT/year/2016/drive_standart/753/hg_ug/615/subcategory/615040/part_id/2561338/lang/e It's easy enough to measure the diameter of the front brake discs with a wheel off. I suspect the Greenline has either 276mm or 288mm diameter front brake discs. The Octavia MK3 appears to have three different diameter rear brake discs. 253mm, 272mm, 310mm. Build code 1KD matches 253mm, build code 1KS and 1KT matches 272mm, and build code 1KW matches 310mm.

Karoq 4x4 spare wheel kit
mytyres are listing an Alcar 6665 6Jx16 ET43 5/112 57.1 steel rim for the Karoq. https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=1273838646642300016&rimCode=ALCAR6665 However, the 215/60R16 tyre size isn't cheap. A cheaper option is a 205/70R15 tyre fitted to an Octavia MK3 or MK4 steel rim such as Alcar 4755 and Alcar 7755 6Jx15 ET43 5/112 57.1 which could be used as a space saver tyre fitted to the rear. The 15" rim is unlikely to clear the front brake calipers, so put the 15" spare on the rear only. Alcar 4755 6Jx15 ET43 5/112 57.1 Steel Rim (from VW Golf MK8/Skoda Octavia MK4) https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rims/details?vehicleId=1229371647597745264&rimCode=ALCAR4755 Vredestein Quatrac 5 205/70R15 96T https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Vredestein/Quatrac-5/205-70-R15-96T/R-281259 Karoq Spare Wheel Kit https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/sady-pro-vymenu-kol/c/setsToChangeWheels?q=%3AscoreDesc%3AcarType%3AKaroq%2B%282017%2B%29&text=# It looks like the 4x2 Karoq uses a skinny 125/70R18 space saver rather than a full size spare wheel.

Will these alloys fit mk2 Fabia vrs?
Because of the 8J wide rims stretching the sidewalls to the max, even the ET35 could rub. Even if they didn't rub straight away, would you want a tiny gap that could end up rubbing in the future...perhaps after bushings and bearings etc. start to wear and change the clearance. It could work out expensive if you find that you can't use your rims because of rubbing. Audi A1 rims might be more suitable. 7.5Jx17 ET34 and 7.5Jx17 ET36 are listed on the "vw online parts catalogue". http://www.oemepc.com/audi/part_single/catalog/au/markt/RDW/modell/A1/year/2016/drive_standart/792/hg_ug/601/subcategory/601070/part_id/254951/lang/e

Will these alloys fit mk2 Fabia vrs?
"skoda eshop cz" shows a 205/40R17 on a 7Jx17 ET41 as a standard option on the Fabia MK2. https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/hlinikove-disky/c/alloyWheels?q=%3AscoreDesc%3AcarType%3AFabia%2BII%2B%282010-2014%29&text=# So fitting 205/40R17 on 8Jx17 ET30 is similar to adding 10mm wheel spacers to the standard rims as far as the positioning of the centre of the tyre in relation to the bodywork goes. 8J is stretching the 205/40 tyres to the max, so won't give the rims much protection from kerbing damage, and the stretched sidewalls will give quite a hard ride. ET30 does seem a bit extreme, but maybe that's the point. ET35 would be less likely to rub and/or have the tyres stick out past the edge of the bodywork.

Fabia 1.0 TSI 110hp - What are they like to live with?
The Fabia MK3 uses 215/45R16 not 205/45R16. It's easy enough to fit 205/55R15 instead of 185/60R15 to the 6Jx15 ET38 rims.

More Tyre, Less Rim
The outside diameter of 225/35R17 is the same as 225/40R18 and 225/35R19, so they all fill the wheel arch the same amount. Because of the 340mm diameter front brake discs on the vRS 245HP, 17" rims are the smallest diameter that will clear the front brake calipers. Changing to 225/45R17 will make a big improvement to ride comfort, especially if fitted to relatively narrow 7J rims and carefully choose tyres that have soft, flexible sidewalls. 205/50R17 would ride even better than the wider 225/45R17, and could be fitted to 6.5Jx17 ET38 rims. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 in size 205/50R17 93W doesn't have thick rubber rim protection moulded into the sidewalls, which should make the sidewalls flex more easily. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 should also ride more comfortably than the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 as it's not trying to be the ultimate performance tyre.

Bilstein B8 rear shock fitment problem for Octavia Estate
Bilstein B8 24-229937 is for multilink rear suspension. I doubt the 150HP has multilink rear suspension. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bilstein/7522727 Bilstein B8 is for lowered/sports suspension. Bilstein B6 is for standard ride height suspension. Both Bilstein B6 and B8 are high performance dampers, ie. expensive. The more regular Bilstein B4 shock absorbers are about half the price of Bilstein B6 and B8 shock absorbers, and adequate for most people.

Can anyone with a 2.0 TSI 220 factory spare wheel tell me the size?
205/65R16 is not the correct one for the Superb MK3. The outside diameter of 205/65R16 is about 1.3% bigger than the standard 215/60R16. The actual widths of the above two tyre sizes varies depending on the widths of the rims that they are fitted to. Shown below is a 205/65R16 fitted to a 6J rim. Notice that the Overall Width is 209mm. PROXES CF2 New Proxes CF2 has been created to take advantage of the latest materials, structures and tread pattern design in order to guarantee a high level of safety, durability, savings, and comfort.

In comparison, a 215/60R16 fitted to a 6J rim is also about 215mm wide. So both a 205/65R16 fitted to a 6.5J rim and a 215/60R16 fitted to a 6J rim are both about 215mm wide, ie. about the same width. If you were to fit a 215/60R16 to a much wider 7J rim, it would become about 225mm wide, ie. a 215/60R16 fitted to a 7J rim is about 10mm wider than a 205/65R16 fitted to a 6.5J rim.

Can anyone with a 2.0 TSI 220 factory spare wheel tell me the size?
The actual width of a 205/55R16 tyre fitted to a 6.5J rim is about 215mm, not 205mm. The actual width of a 215/60R16 tyre fitted to a 6J rim is about 215mm, and the actual width of a 215/60R16 tyre fitted to a 6.5J rim is about 221mm. So try a 215/60R16 tyre fitted to a 6J rim, it should fit. The width of an inflated tyre is measured from sidewall to sidewall.

RS6B alloys on a MK2 Superb?
I would avoid using wheel spacers that aren't hub centric, and you can't get hub centric wheel spacers that are less than 10mm. So the 5mm wheel spacers aren't hub centric. Hub centric wheel spacers have a spigot to centre the wheels exactly on the hubs. By using wheel spacers that aren't hub centric you risk the wheel not being exactly centred on the hub, which will cause vibration. Maybe consider 10mm hub centric wheel spacers front and rear. This will have the effect of changing the rim offset from the current ET48 to ET38. I would want my wheel bolts to have between 6 and 10 turns. If it's more or less than this, look at buying longer or shorter wheel bolts. They are usually available in 5mm increments, such as lengths of 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, etc. Eibach Pair of 10mm Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacers https://www.demon-tweeks.com/eibach-pair-of-10mm-pro-spacer-wheel-spacers-kit-eibes90-2-10-027/?istCompanyId=a2904180-3a7d-4e56-b876-cf81c9512180&istFeedId=0f6db192-3a9a-4369-b1f8-79615c622f96&istItemId=wptpwmmll&istBid=t&awaid=6538&utm_source=redbrain&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=css&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsNnCndOB8QIVsuHmCh1TGwcYEAYYBCABEgK2pPD_BwE

will this type of jack fit my skoda superb 2020?
That kit looks like this one from the Octavia MK3 Scout. 1050CZK is about £35 https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/sada-pro-rezervni-kolo-octavia-scout/p/5E0093860D It's being sold for an Octavia MK3 Scout so maybe you need at least a 17" rim. I would try something like this from the standard Octavia MK3. However, I don't know if it will fit the Superb MK3. https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/sada-pro-vymenu-rezervniho-kola-pro-octavia-iii/p/5E0093860B Then maybe you could use a 195/65R15 6.5Jx15 ET43 spare wheel from the Octavia MK3 (or Vredestein Quatrac 5 205/70R15 6.5Jx15 ET43) https://eshop.skoda-auto.cz/cs_CZ/kompletni-rezervni-kolo-16/p/5E0601011J You wouldn't be able to use a 15" spare wheel on the front of a Superb MK3 as it won't clear the brake calipers, so use a 15" spare on the rear only. Some of the more powerful Superb MK3's have rear brakes discs with a diameter bigger than 288mm. If the rear brake discs have a diameter bigger than 288mm, at least a 16" spare wheel would be needed.

IV/GTE suspension
One easy test if you have digital calipers, is to measure the wire diameter of the front and rear springs. In addition to the four standard ride height rear springs that I posted above, there are another six listed on the "vw online parts catalogue". 1 3Q0511115M coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YE 1 3Q0511115N coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YF 1 3Q0511115P coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YG 1 3Q0511115Q coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YH 1 3Q0511115R coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YJ 1 3Q0511115BC coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YK The last three aren't listed on autodoc. This isn't unusual as aftermarket springs aren't available to match all OEM part numbers. However, the three standard ride height rear springs from the list above do have their specifications listed on autodoc, as detailed below. 3Q0511115M (Diameter 12.50mm, Length 366mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=3Q0511115M&supplier[0]=85 3Q0511115N (Diameter 13.25mm, Length 361mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115n?search=OEN+3Q0511115N&supplier[0]=85&supplier[1]=1 3Q0511115P (Diameter 13.50mm, Length 361mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115p?search=OEN 3Q0511115P It looks like 3Q0511115Q, 3Q0511115R, and 3Q0511115BC are incrementally stiffer than 3Q0511115P as you can see from decoding 0YG, 0YH, 0YJ, 0YK Decoding 0YG, 0YH, 0YJ, 0YK Build Codes 0YG = Weight range 7 0YH = Weight range 8 0YJ = Weight range 9 0YK = Weight range 10 You might have trouble finding the OEM part numbers from the coloured dots, as the "vw online parts catalogue" doesn't appear to list the above rear springs against the coloured dots. In addition to the front and rear springs, you might want to look to see if there are different thicknesses of anti-roll bars. However, if you have 13.5mm diameter rear springs you might already have the thicked anti-roll bars. But I'm just guessing about this as I haven't done any research on anti-roll bars for the Passat.

IV/GTE suspension
Have you got the OEM part numbers of the front and rear springs? Here are 4 of the standard ride height rear springs shown on the "vw online parts catalogue" for the 2016 VW Passat. The build code 1JA means that these springs are standard ride height. Build code 1JC would mean that they are sports springs. The "vw codes decoder" can be used to find out what the build codes mean. "vw codes decoder" http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx Four Standard Ride Height Rear Springs for the VW Passat 2016 1 3Q0511115AH coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YA 1 3Q0511115AJ coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YB 1 3Q0511115AK coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YC 1 3Q0511115AL coil spring Model data: PR-1JA+0YD http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/PA/year/2016/drive_standart/793/hg_ug/511/subcategory/511000/part_id/0/lang/e You can find the specification of each of these springs on autodoc. 3Q0511115AH (Wire Diameter 11.25mm, Length 363mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115ah?search=OEN+3Q0511115AH&supplier[0]=1&supplier[1]=32&supplier[2]=85&supplier[3]=1&supplier[4]=32 3Q0511115AJ (Diameter 11.75mm, Length 361mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115aj?search=OEN+3Q0511115AJ&supplier[0]=1&supplier[1]=32&supplier[2]=85&supplier[3]=1&supplier[4]=32 3Q0511115AK (Diameter 12.25mm, Length 364mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115ak?search=OEN+3Q0511115AK&supplier[0]=32&supplier[1]=1&supplier[2]=85&supplier[3]=32&supplier[4]=1 3Q0511115AL (Diameter 12.50mm, Length 359mm) https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/oem/3q0511115al?search=OEN+3Q0511115AL&supplier[0]=85&supplier[1]=32&supplier[2]=1 So if you had 3Q0511115AK rear springs and wanted to go about 5% stiffer but with about the same ride height, then a change to 3Q0511115AL would do that.

15 or 16 inch wheels for ride comfort?
The Monte Carlo uses the same standard suspension as the other trim options. If in doubt, check the build codes. 1JA means standard suspension. 1JC means sports suspension.

Tyres
What is the tyre size? For example, 225/45R17 94V. What is the make and model. For example, Bridgestone Turanza T005. All these details are moulded into the sidewalls of the tyres.
