Hello,

My dad has bought a Komiq and I have got his Yeti, so that's okay 👍

He now wants a spare wheel but is getting confused between a spare for a Komiq and Troc.

He has a 2021 Komiq, 1.5 petrol and needs an 18" spare wheel, can anyone advise please

TIA

The below foam and jack kit for the Kamiq includes everything except for the actual spare wheel, which can be purchased separately. On the "skoda eshop cz" website, it's listed at 1,089CZK (about £37.25). This can be ordered from any VAG parts department by quoting OEM part number 658093860A.

From the listing, it looks like the official spare wheel for this foam and jack kit is 195/60R16 fitted to a 6Jx16 ET35 5/100 57.1 steel rim.

Perhaps purchase the foam and jack kit first, and see if one of the 215/45R18 7Jx18 ET39 5/100 57.1 alloy rims will fit. You might find that it will only fit without lifting the carpet if all the air is let out, ie. removing the air valve so that the tyre's sidewalls go floppy.

Notice in the chart below, that the 215/45R18 fitted to a 7" rim width is actually narrower (by 1mm) than a 205/55R17 fitted to a 6.5" rim width.

205/55R17 fitted to 6.5" rim width 214mm

215/45R18 fitted to 7" rim width 213mm

Outside diameter of tyre

195/60R16 640.4mm

See Doofy's post dated 15 April, 2024 in the below thread.

Doofy says that 205/60R16 fitted to a 6Jx16 ET35 5/100 57.1 will fit in the Kamiq's wheel well. However, as the 205/55R17 and 215/45R18 options aren't much wider...maybe they will also fit...but they are a few millimetres wider than the 205/60R16 option.

Jumping on a little hijack here.

But I'm in a similar situation about to get a new (to me) 2021 Kamiq SE-L with just goo.

Was looking at just picking up a matching alloy on ebay but am now aware it may not fit!

Will the standard 18" alloy that comes with the 2021 Kamiq fit in the wheel well?

Well when I was trying one for the Tiguan I just stuck a jack under it and pulled a rear wheel off and tried it and it wouldnt go in Will go nas see what mine has later as its early here

I went and measured and I doubt the standard wheel will fit in the well as it nearly half an inch bigger diameter and the well is really tight on the space saver.

Also is 3/4 inch wider so will be higher and push the floor up I seriously doubt it will fit In fact I will say NO IT WONT.. Just let me say the spare is a ***** of a thing to get out as the rear boot structure sits over it so you have to pull it up from behind the seat and worm it out. Its wifes car so if it gets a puncture She can fix it LOL

Thanks for taking the time I really appreciate it.

What sized space saver are you using?

Space saver came with car is 195/60/16 Car has 215/45/18 and as said is narrower and took kit fits inside it

You should be able to get the whole kit from a Skoda Dealer. it is the most expensive way though.

I have read that if you have the variable boot floor it's a little more complicated.

You can probably get a spacesaver but I thought it was about getting a matching one. maybe I misread it.. But this was the question I answered.

"Will the standard 18" alloy that comes with the 2021 Kamiq fit in the wheel well?" My answer is NO

I have variable floor and spacesaver is fine under lowest setting but a wider standard one wont be

Oh yea its definitely about getting matching, but since you said probably not I was curious about the spacesaver you had, I'm assuming it's not an 18" one?

Do people actually read my replies I answered that with this reply 3 hours ago

So I will phrase it differently Car is fitted with 215/45/18 Mags and tyres'

Spacesaver is 195/60/16 which is about 15mm smaller diameter and the tyre well is really tight on that so a full size wheel and tyre wont fit

Just try a wheel / tyre that is on the car in the spare tyre well that is being asked about.

After all if the car has a puncture and tyre deflated or not deflated it needs to go someplace if the car and boot is full.

Like into the Spare Tyre Well.

Full sized Wheels / Tyres fit in Spare tyre wells of Fabia's.

As they do in various models / generations. Sometimes the only issue the floor is sitting on top of the spare a few mm higher.

It depends entirely on what wheels are on the car and that depends on the model Poverty packs may have smaller wheels but mine is an LE with all the fruit like electric seats and boot etc I can only say what mine has and as the original asker said THEY HAVENT GOT THE CAR YET they cant try a wheel.. You normally just chuck a puncture in the boot not the wheel well and as the poster is wanting a FULL SIZED spare to match his wheels it does matter as who runs around with the spare not pumped up

Exactly.

Depends what is on the car. Not what someone else has on their car.

What someone normally does is of no concern. Or what you do.

The guy in Scotland put it behind the seat in his BMW and it exploded and killed the passenger.

People put wheels maybe in for repair and take home inflated.

Regardless of all that it boils down to this. If his wheels are the same diameter as the wheel well or spacesaver they will fit If they are a larger diameter they WONT.. Only in a BMW as they are a revered brand which can do what no other car or driver can LOL

Exactly, Total circumference / total diameter. Run a tape measure round them.

There are Space Savers (Skinnies) and Steel wheels and tyres that save space. Important.

Some crap Emergency / Reduce Speed spare can be totally hopeless say in Winter, Festive Holidays and snow / ice and Tyre & Exhaust Centres closed. Like happens not only in Scotland but other regionans.

I have a BMW, big wide rears and narrower front. No Spare.

I have a MINI and no spare tyre well.

I have has Skoda,s and SEATS, & VW,s and all the wheels / tyres that are on the car fit in the spare tyre well.

& in winter i carry 2 mating Spare Wheels, one in tyre well and one on top.

Not chucked in like here. But 1 of these fit in where the 195/55 R 15 spare does. Standard sizes being 205/ 40 R 17 or 215/40 R 17 in the same tyre well of a Polo, A1 or Ibiza Twincharger.

Yeah we know all that but the subject as you say is "not what others have" but what a KAMIQ has. So when he gets the car jack it and try a wheel. It will either fit or it wont and he will have his answer. No need for what your 10 other cars have. All my previous 30 odd had full size spares but they are irrelevant. I used to drive taxis in a hilly city in the winter and had a full extra set of snow tyres but thats not what this thread is about

I'm just confused now.

The OP is asking about a spare wheel for his dad.

There is enough info in this thread to suggest that a full sized 18 inch wheel is too big to be a spare and you need to fit the space saver wheel kit.

I've had a look at mine this morning I run an 18 inch wheel and it will sort of sit in the spare wheel well but it's not a good fit. While I'd be OK driving a few miles to a garage to drop it off I'd be worried it was not properly secured if left in there on a day to day basis.

There is, of course, an insurance angle to consider anything that the insurance company can point at and say "non-standard" places the insured at risk.

If they want one in for what ever reason and all they need is a longer bolt to hold it in then job done is it not?

The other choice being run the slightly less diameter / circumference emergency spare at a reduced speed until you get a repair or replacement at the soonest.

Not that handy if you might be towing, or in more rural areas.

The OP can maybe say if his father really needs an exact matching spare, or it is just his preference if he can have that.

Edited 18 June18 Jun by Ootohere

Just to add I have a full size spare in mine, not a space saver. Size is 205/60 16 same as on my car. Aware the OP is asking about 18" wheels, but may help others reading this.

My 24 Monte Carlo with 215x45 18” wheels has a factory fit spare wheel that is 205x55 16”.

The two latest posts are the pertinent answers If your car has 16's you can buy a matching spare. If it has 18's a matching spare wont fit in the wheel well.

Answers all the questions.

Thanks guys.

These are all super useful answers!

It looks like I will be looking for a fullsized 16" spare I reckons!

I will do a double check as suggested with taking a wheel off... But with expectations managed!
