I have just hatched a cunning plan to see what a set of 18" alloys will look like on my new Spaceback Sport....

 

The Rapid alloys have the same PCD as my Legacy 3.0R alloys (5x100).

 

The Legacy has a centre bore of 56.1. If this is the same as the Rapid it may be worth having a swap over to see how it looks.....

 

Does anybody know the centre bore of the Skoda, or have tried 18" s on a Rapid yet?

They won't fit.

 

Skoda, and most other VW, Audi and SEAT have a centre bore of 57.1

 

Only the Touareg has a different centre bore.

Bossfox put 18s on his rapid. I know he put a picture up in my thread (too lazy to link)

Ahh, thanks guys saved me an hour of jacking up both cars and trying a destined to fail swap..... Looks like i may head down the road of changing the colour of the standard Camelots to black in the short term and then do something 'dropped' or big wheel at a later date..

Look at plenty of pics - generally black wheels look very small in the rapid arches compared to silver ones - apart from @kenreid7 with his black OZ superturismos.

 

It does depend on the body colour too.

My 17s in silver look huge but mine is lowered a touch......

I don't think there is a quick fix without spending a lot of dollar, which is not an option right now....Sounding like I get the Camelots sprayed black as stage 1 and then lower it to fill the cavernous arches when affordable....

I wouldnt go black. But like antherite (carnt spell it)
