MK2 Superb Wheel Size Help Needed

[JZFMK2]

Hey guys!

 

Our family has a MK2 Facelift Superb Estate. Would want to fit 18" wheels on it, but unsure what fits. Best looking rims are almost all of them 8x18, the papers of the car suggest 7.5x18.

Has anyone got 18x8 wheels on it and how do they fit/ what ET do they have? Dont want the wheels to stick out more then the fenders at max want it to be flush

 

Thank you for your answears in advance!

Hi, welcome.

You would probably be best asking on Superb Mk2 forum for real life experiences of fitting the 18" wheels.  It will depending on the model of Superb you have and its brakes sizes.

An answer you probably not like from me, and I am not alone with this, car manufacturers, for the UK at least, already oversize the wheels and tyres for the sake of fashion sales and as with most fashions some owners want to take thing even further, and more unnecessary.  It is your family's car so they and you can do as you chose and ignore this point of view and the following.

 

Tyres affect the braking, steering and suspension, handling, grip, noise and comfort, better smaller tyres can often offer more than larger not as good tyres.  Bigger wheels with lower profile tyres can give unacceptable problems with driving on real roads, certainly in the UK, indeed many seek to downsize the wheels and get higher profile tyres than already fitted to improve matters.  Good or very good appropriate tyres make a big difference regardless of their relative width and profile size.

 

HTH.
