I have an Mk 3 Octavia Scout 184 TDI DSG

 

Have a question about reducing my size of wheels to fit A/T or robust tyres as I venture offroad frequently.

 

Good evening Captain, welcome aboard

Hi Gaz,

Thanks for the welcome message.

I have a job with a well known  delivery company; a lot of my deliveries are  on non metalled roads & farm tracks with pot holes & really bad surfaces.

I drive a 2015 Skoda Scout 184 TDI DSG

which is a fantastic vehicle. 
It’s shod with 225/50 17 Vredestein Quatrac pro tyres at the moment.

Im worried that they’ll get damaged / or punctured during my rounds.

I am thinking of getting some 16” steel wheels & A/T or robust tyres to replace the present ones.

Has anyone got any suggestions ???

Vredestein Quatrac 6 225/55R16 95V fitted to 7Jx16 ET45 steel rims from the Superb MK2 and Yeti. This keeps the offset the same as the standard 7Jx17 ET45 rims but gives 10% more sidewall height.

Hi Carlston,

Ill post it when I succeed in the changeover operation!
