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.

Very nice car to start with. But are you saying the wheels were all 19x8.5 or 19x 9.5. Just with different offsets ( rear being more offset than the front? 

 

Im in the process of buying some 19” Cades Apollo wheels (I think I’m set on a specific color now) and would really love to run a 19x9.5 on the rear. But I know I’m pushing the limit of these smallish wheel wells.

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.....

I’ve been doing a bunch of measuring and checking, and measuring etc etc I have worked out that I can just get by w a 19x8.5 ET 40 on the front w a 245/35. I might have to heat up and indent a little plastic here or there (at full turn I’m looking at 3mm clearance at some points. But I believe it’ll work out. 

 

The rear is alittle different due due to no turning necessary. I’ll either match the fronts exactly. (The safe boring thing to do). Or I’ll take a chance w a 19x9,5 ET 45. Really give it that heavy back end look. I’m fairly certain the suspension don’t flex so much in the rear due to the new B12 lowering kit I just did. Figment wise it’ll go. Im just not sure I like the 245 on a 9.5” wheel. So 2 new tires may be necessary at 255/35. 

 

But thats the next issue. Will a 245/35 front and a 255/35 rear set off the tire pressure alarm? Is the difference in height enough to be an issue????

 

im not worried at all about what Skoda recommends or if the Speedo reads 100% on the money (it reads fast from the factory like all others cars do im sure). I just want a cool stance that’s not rubbing or throwing codes. Lol. 

I bought another one!  I needed something more economical for my new commute of 80 miles a day. 

 

2.0 TDI 140 dsg. Its a bit standard at the moment... I'm also not a fan of the walnut to be fair!

 

It's only done 12500 miles.

Well as of Thursday this shall be mine to replace my mk3 Octavia 1.6 tdi elegance. It's a 2 litre tdi 170 dsg elegance in cappuccino beige, not my first choice of colour by any means but it's the car I want with the spec I want so I don't care about the colour!

I had a 12 plate 140 Elegance in that colour and got lots of positive comments regarding the colour. Same alloys as well. Enjoy. Just talked my Dad into changing from 43 years of Vauxhalls, this Friday he picks up a 62 plate Business Grey Superb 170Tdi Estate Elegance with the DSG box. One owner 66,000 miles and just £8,500 with a new cambelt fitted by the local Skoda dealer.

My 2011 English car (imported into Ireland by a dealer and sold to me).  My girlfriend christened him Yoda, so I bought a suitable sticker for the boot.

 

I think this is the best car I have owned so far and after 11,000 miles in 6 months I am deeply impressed by how capable it is.

May the force be with you.

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.

I think those look great unless they need refurbishing I would personally keep them.

That's low mileage for a Mk2, when was it registered?

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

 

Glossy goodness 

That blue always looks good with black trim.

That and Rosso Brunello look their best with the ivory interior IMO

@TheRobinK @chimaera I'm biased but agree . A subtle black tint on the rears will happen eventually but that's about it. Love the OEM thing. 

 

p.s. spy the Crossclimates 

I suppose I'd better throw up a pic of mine now

This was just after putting a coat of wax on it in November.

 

I see the steering wheel is still on the wrong side of the car ...

Definitely agree there.  Had Rosso and ivory before and now lava blue with ivory and they are the classiest colour combos IMO

Our 4000km family road trip over Christmas in New Zealand's South Island. Great fun and no issues with the car!

Don't suppose you have the part number still for those black/chrome wheel centre caps.Would love a set for my Dad's 62 plate Elegance while he has his Themisto's refurbished.

I was told they are 5JA601151A

 

Superskoda usually has sets of 4  for about €20 but I've seen them on eBay for less than £10 . Check the picture though - sellers seem to use the number to describe any of the 56mm Skoda fitting wheel emblems.
