Alloys

I have a 2018 superb with 8j x 19in alloys on.

Can I put 7j x 19in alloys on it from a 2018 karoq

19" Karoq alloys are 8J, not 7J.

 

As you can see in the ETRTO chart below, a 235/40R19 officially needs at least an 8J rim width.

 

ETRTO approved rim widths

235/40R19 8.0-8.5-9.5

The 7Jx19 Kodiaq rims have an offset of ET43, so only 1mm different from the 8Jx19 ET44 Superb MK3 rims.

 

7J is too narrow for the standard Superb MK3 19" tyres, ie. 235/40R19, but you could use 225/45R19 instead. However, 225/45R19 would raise the gearing by 2.2% compared to 235/40R19.

 

Here's an example of an UHP summer tyre in the 225/45R19 size.

Thanks for your help mate, there is a guy selling a set of 7j x 19 sirius alloys on here he rekons they have 235 tyres on them and will fit my car. 

I had to have one of mine welded so was looking for a new set as mine are nearly £800 each off skoda, so think i will have to go with after market ones appreciate your help.

The 19" Kodiaq tyres are size 235/50R19. The outside diameter of this tyre size is far too big for the Superb MK3, as shown in the chart below.

 

Outside diameter of tyre

235/40R19 670.6mm

235/50R19 717.6mm (7.0% bigger outside diameter compared to 235/40R19

 

Skoda do an alloy rim accessory catalogue. Prices are much lower (perhaps 60% less) than the normal prices.

 

The below alloy rim is listed at 5459CZK (about £190.87). This is just one example, as there's a huge range of alloy rims in the Skoda alloy rim accessory catalogue.

The alloy rims listed on "skoda eshop cz" are from the accessory catalogue. You can tell by the format of the OEM part number. xxx701xxx is from the accessory catalogue.
