I’d b going with 35 offset mate. Standard wheels for the Octavia vrs are 51 and a lot of people running 15mm spacers so that would be spot on. However the facelift Octavia do have a wider rear axle 30mm total I think so depends on what model you have pre facelift the 35mm would be Ace, post facelift (split front headlights) I’d have thought the 45’s would be sound

Pre face lift, no not going the extremes, it’s the bola b11’s I’m going for. ET35 sounds good , I’ll eventually do spacers aswell

^^^This, absolutely, BUT only if you are going with 7.5J width as per Extremes.

 

If you are looking at 19 x 8's or even 8.5 then maybe go with 40 but I reckon 45 with an 8.5J width. I have 15mm spacers on Extremes at the rear and wouldn't want any more poke TBH.

 

www.willtheyfit.com is very good to help visualise your options.

They are 19x8.5 so u think a ET45 is best ? I’ll go for that

Sounds good - don't forget to post photos! 

 

Willtheyfit tells us this:

 

 

 

 

So you have approx 19mm more poke - I deffo wouldn't go more than that.

 

I'd probably go with 235/35/19 tyres rather than 225/35/19 too - I have them on my Extremes, and with an 8.5J rim I'd definitely do that.
