The correct selection of wheels and tires for a vehicle should presuppose the selection of products in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer. Deviation from these or those standards may cause the technical impossibility of installing a wheel or tire, as well as a violation of safety rules. In the regulatory documents from car manufacturers there are recommendations for the selection of wheels for a particular model, taking into account the parameters of the bolt pattern of the disks, etc.

Selection for fifth models

Skoda Octavia A5 models, depending on the configuration, were equipped with steel or light-alloy wheels of the same bolt pattern. Cheaper modifications were completed with steel, or so-called stamped, products. The manufacturer provided for the permissible disc characteristics for the A5 models, which were produced from 1996 to 2004, namely in terms of the hub diameter - 57.1 mm (this indicator is marked with the DIA coding), the diameter of the product itself - 15, 16 and R17, departure - from 30 to 46 mm (ET). In this case, the number of holes for fasteners is 5 pieces with the diameter of the conditional circle on which they are located, 100 mm. The manufacturer, when selecting products in width, recommended a choice between indicators in the range of 6 - 7.5 inches. To fasten the product to the car hub, bolts of the M14x1.5 type are used. The location parameters and specifications of the bolts, as well as their number, are called bolt patterns.

The Skoda Octavia A5 models, which were produced in the period from 2004 to 2008, had slightly different indicators of wheel sizes. So, the diameter of the location of the elements for attaching the product to the hub increased to 112 mm, and the manufacturer provides for the installation of disks with a diameter of 15, 16, 17 and 18 inches on the car. The outreach indicator (ET) has also changed and is 31-50 mm.

Regarding the selection of rubber tires, one should, of course, take into account the standard size of the main rim. So, the most popular and demanded are tires with data 195 for 65 R15, 205 for 60 R15 91 h-v, 205 for 65 R16 91 h-v-W and 225 for 45 R17 91 h-W. At the same time, the products that have shown themselves from the best side are produced under such brands as Pirelli, Goodyear, Nokian, Michelin and many others. The correct selection of products for a specific period of operation is also important, as well as depending on the climate characteristics of the area where the vehicle will be mainly used.

Summing up the selection of cast or stamped products for Skoda Octavia A5 cars, including rubber, it is worth giving an example of optimal combinations of elements of a car wheel in the table:

Selection for seventh models

The choice of products on the Skoda Octavia A7 model is much more diverse, in contrast to the previous model. So, depending on the modification (regular or Tour model), as well as on the model year of manufacture, the data of tires and disks may differ significantly. The simplest stampings are installed on the basic configurations of Skoda Octavia A7 and Tour vehicles. The code for this part is 5Q060102703C.

The bolt pattern for the Skoda Octavia A7 models has the following data - 5 to 112. At the same time, the number "5" indicates the number of main bolts that are used to attach the element to the car's hub, and "112" indicates the diameter of the circle on which the holes for these mounting bolts. In the complex, this indicator is called bolt pattern. Skoda Octavia A7 of the third generation differs from the representatives of the second only in the width and offset of light-alloy or cast components of the wheel.

From the factory, the models are equipped with sizes of 15 inches, 16 and 17. So, the data for the 15th radius is 6.0J PCD 5 for 112 ET 47, for the 16th - 6.5J PCD 5 for 112 ET 46-48 (57.1) and for 17 7.0J PCD 5 at 112 ET 43.

The bolts used in the A7 have a standard size for most representatives of the Czech automaker - M14 by 1.5.

The choice of original cast elements for the Skoda Octavia A7 models, including the A7 Tour models, deserves special attention. So, customers, depending on the chosen configuration of the A7 or as an additional option, are given the opportunity to choose products of various styles. As original cast elements on the Skoda Octavia A7 model, including the Tour model, such types as Minoris, Denom, Ilias, Gemini are installed, which have a standard bolt pattern. Among the above, it is worth highlighting the Denom and Gemini models, which are also suitable for the A5 model, and the most popular for the A7 models is the 16th size.

Denom castings are sized for a standard bolt pattern and measure 7.0J by 17 inches (ET 49). On the Denom type, as well as on Minoris, Ilias and Gemini, the manufacturer provides for the possibility of installing anti-slip chains when the car is used in the winter season. According to the results of various tests, the Denom model has shown its best side and reasonably enjoys a high level of demand among the owners of Skoda Octavia A7 cars. Denom castings feature silver finish, five-spoke design and a unique design. Depending on the configuration of the vehicles described, it is possible to install R18 wheels. So, for the diameter R18, cast elements of the Turini, Alaris and Golus type are used. All of these R18 models differ in performance and appearance. It is worth noting that each type of light-alloy elements of the Octavia A7 models has its own unique code. For example, the Denom 17 model is marked with the code 5E0601025D8Z8, and the Turini R18 can be in several colors. The article number of one of the most popular R18 elements is 5J0071496M 7ZS. Elements of the R18 type significantly affect the appearance of the models, giving a sporty style and aggressiveness.

The selection of different tire sizes on the Octavia A7 is also carried out depending on the alloy wheel elements used. So, for a radius of 15 inches, 195 by 65 tires are suitable, for a radius of R16, 205 to 55 are optimal, and for a radius of 17 - 225 by 45.

Car owners make their choice mainly taking into account the decorative component of the part. In this case, the selection should be made taking into account all the above data. The most popular and demanded types of rubber for the Octavia A7 models are Micheline Energy Seiver, Continental ContiPremiumContact or Dunlop SP Sport FestResponse, and alloy elements with a radius of 16 inches.

Summarizing the description of the parts that can be used in the A7 models, you should summarize the information in the table below.

In this case, the symbol "J" indicates the shape of the rim edge, and the "R" the radial structure of the rubber tire (for example, R with an index of 16). The hub bore of the seventh models is no different from the previous generation.

Wheels that will fit exactly on FL 11

Answer

7-17: 7,5-17;
Hub bore 57.1;
bolt pattern 5-112;
departure 45-50.
Rubber 215-225 × 45.
The difference in departure is plus minus 5.
If the hub hole is larger, you can buy centering rings.

They put 225-45-17 on the original disks from the Audi A6C6. The front wheels protruded in width beyond the mudguards and splashed all the sides with mud (and the car was white, but the roads were Russian, provincial). As a result, they removed it.

Who unscrewed the licked wheel bolts on the original wheels?

Tightened tightly.
In general, if a normal key and a larger lever did not help, and the tire service makes a helpless gesture, go to the service and weld on with welding.

Do I need to change bolts when switching from casting to stamping?

If everything is original, then you do not need to change.

We take out the rear wheel outward on the Skoda

How to get the rear wheels out a little if you don't like them too much in the arches.

We take into account that the car will quickly get dirty.
But if you really want to, such spacers are put here - up to 2 cm in the form of a metal washer.
Placed between the hub and the wheel disc.
Thus, it brings the wheel out.
For the price - in the region of 3 tr.

How to blacken the tires on your Skoda?

There are a lot of funds, from dear Hi-Gear, to cheap:

• glycerol,
• cream paint for shoes Silver (for leather !, not for suede or nubuck),
• Silicone Grease,
• regular polish,
• cola + glycerin,
• special foam for tires,
• shoe polish is the cheapest one for shoes.

Glycerin is enough until the first rain, and if carefully, then for a week.
Layout: mix glycerin with water 50/50, you can even have more water.
The dust does not stick, the price of glycerin is a penny. Spread with a regular dish sponge.

Hi-Gear (foam) - flows onto discs and is uneconomical.
Black | Black from Soft99 - silky shine / dust sticks, but washes off easily / water comes off with a bang / persistent.
Doctor Wax restorer - natural color / almost (!) Indifferent to dust / water drainage is not certain, though. And not as persistent as Black.

Tire load index the right choice

When buying winter or summer tires, I think that every car enthusiast needs to know about the tire speed index and load index. all tires have their own parameters.

Important:
New tires must first be “run in”, since at first their grip with the other tires is not yet quite optimal. This fact must be taken into account at the first 500 kilometers and the car must be driven with increased speed.
The way tires are rolled affects their service life.

If you do not know for what speed and load the tires in which your car are shod are designed, then you should not be surprised,
if problems arise when the set parameters are exceeded.

TIPS FOR SELECTING TIRES (from the manual)

The first parameter that needs to be determined is tire size.

The instructions for your car should indicate the size that best suits your car. Considering that many manufacturers recommend operating tires with a wider profile in summer and narrower ones in winter, several sizes may be indicated in the manual.We do not recommend installing tires with a different size, since car manufacturers have tested the car in various conditions and have selected the optimal tire size. providing the safest mode of vehicle operation.

Tires of the recommended sizes differ in a certain circumference on the outer diameter, and if you leave tires of a different size, it will lead to distortions in the readings of the odometer and speedometer. Depending on the conditions in which the tires will be used, their seasonality and tread pattern are chosen.

Seasonality tires are divided into summer, winter and all-season.

You should not use winter tires in summer, as they become very soft at elevated temperatures. Such tires are subject to rapid wear in the summer and do not provide a safe mode of car operation.
Summer tires in winter, on the contrary, become very stiff and do not provide good grip.

Make sure that the tires you purchase comply with international and Russian standards. Tires passed
certification, marked with the letter "E" (indicating compliance with European standards) or the inscription "DOT" (indicating compliance with American standards), and sometimes both of these markings may be present.

Regardless of international certification, all tires sold in Russia must have a certificate of conformity,
issued by the state standard of Russia, which conducts its own tests.

The seller must present the certificate at the first request of the buyer.

Although the tire load index is set with a margin, one should not neglect the established indicators and do not load the car in excess of the permissible load.

Tire Load Index Table

How to decipher the coded wheel markings

Wheel parameters

A Is the width of the rim, expressed in inches.
B- rim diameter, expressed in inches.
C- the diameter of the mounting holes (PCD).
D- diameter of the central hole (DIA), mm.
E- disk overhang, mm.
N- number of mounting holes.
F- the edge of the seat.
H- hump type (hump, English).
S- the inner surface of the disc.
X- X-factor, mm.

Let's analyze the marking of a car disk using the example of the following entry:
6½ J x 15 H2 5x100 ET45 d54.1

Decoding of marking of rims for cars

6½ (rim width) Is the width of the rim A, measured in inches.
15 (rim diameter)- the diameter of the wheel rim B, measured in inches. This value is determined without taking into account the height of the rim flanges.
J (flange)- designation of the profile of the rim flange F. J - the most common type. Also for passenger car rims, the following types are available: JJ, JK, K, B, D, P.
H2 (hump)- collars H on the rim seat. Humpers are designed to securely fix the beads of tubeless tires during lateral impacts, such as when cornering, preventing air outflow. The H2 index means that such protrusions are present on both sides of the rim (in contrast to the H index, which indicates the presence of a hump on only one side).

d54.1 (hub diameter)- the diameter of the central hole D for the wheel hub (DIA), which is measured from the side of the mating plane. DIA is one of the most important indicators that determine the suitability of a wheel rim to a car. The exact match of the diameters of the landing cylinder and the disc bore gives the absolute centering of the wheel. If these diameters do not match, then the final centering is ensured by means of conical or spherical shapes at the fastening bolts / nuts and their corresponding holes in the disc. Centering rings are also used in this situation.

As a rule, an accurate fit is ensured when the original manufacturer's wheels are installed. Most third-party wheel rims are equipped with centering o-rings. This is due to such factors as the relative unification of disks and the reduction in the cost of their production - it is much cheaper to supply products with centering rings than to produce products that differ only in the diameter of the central hole with a step of a fraction of a millimeter.

Location of mounting holes

5x100- number N of holes for fastening bolts / nuts (5) and diameter C of their location (100mm). The diameter of the circle along which the holes are placed is called PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter).
Depending on the number of mounting holes, different factors are used to calculate the PCD parameter from the known hole spacing (see figure below).

A- width between the centers of two adjacent holes, mm.
B- the diameter of the conditional circle along which the centers of the mounting holes (PCD) are located, mm.

The fastener holes can have a decent tolerance in diameter, but the bolt fits unambiguously and absolutely in the center due to the tapered guides. Therefore, the minimum divergence of the centers of the holes at the disc and the hub means that a tight fit is provided for only one bolt - the rest are most likely to be tightened with a bias, excluding correct centralization. Thus, when the wheel rotates, we will have a runout - this is one, and the second - an additional "rotating" load on the bolts or nuts.

Important!
Installation of rims with a PCD different from the nominal is prohibited!

What can lead to the deviation of this parameter from the given one?

A delta of a couple of millimeters, which is not perceptible to the eye and seemingly does not affect driving performance, can cause the disc mounting bolts to loosen from the hubs while driving.
If you have any doubts or difficulties in selecting a disc for a car, in order to avoid incidental situations, it is better to entrust this task to a store consultant or a car service worker.

Departure disk

ET45(Einpress Tief, German; offset, English) - disc offset E: distance between the plane of the wheel disc attachment and the plane of symmetry of the rim, mm. This parameter is set by the manufacturer for each vehicle.

The overhang of the disc can take both positive and negative values, depending on the position of the mating plane relative to the center line of the rim.
A positive disc overhang corresponds to a design in which the mating plane is located closer to the outside of the rim than the center plane of the wheel rim. The opposite position indicates a negative value.

With a decrease in the ET value along the numerical coordinate axis, the wheels begin to protrude to the sides outside the car body - the track becomes wider. An increase in overhang results in a narrower track. Typically, the manufacturer's allowable delta is about ½ cm.
The ET parameter is optional and may not appear in the disc label.

Important!

By adhering to the recommended values, you will ensure that the wheel is safely positioned in the wheel arch and that the load on the suspension and swing mechanism is optimal.
An increase in the disc overhang is unacceptable - this can lead to mechanical contact between the disc and the elements of the brake system. Reducing the offset, although it allows you to achieve a slightly greater stability of the car, as well as the dubious pleasure of "hanging out beautifully", but it entails an increase in the shoulder and, as a result, an overload of the mechanics of the hub and suspension.
Install wheels with an offset other than the recommended one at your own peril and risk!

X-factor- a very conditional indicator X, which determines the distance between the plane of the wheel disk attachment and its rear surface. By itself, this space allows the discs to be installed on vehicles in which the brake system elements protrude beyond the mating plane.

Winter tires: Kapnor.
He took thorns.
There is no point in using such rubber for the winter, specifically in Moscow.
Roads are regularly very abundantly watered with chemical rubbish, from which there is paintwork corrosion, therefore, spikes are practically not needed.

Of the pros and cons of the above tires:

Noisy.
+ price / quality

What is praised:

Michelin, Kapnor, Dunlop, Continetal, Yokogama, Bridstone

Tigar, a Michelin subsidiary!
Nokian Nordman SX - practically does not make noise, holds the road well.
Michelin prima 3. Quiet, good track.
TOYO PROXES C1S - soft, quiet, holds water.

It all depends on how and where to go.

Exterior style depends not only on the type of body color, some tuned elements, but also on the appearance of the wheels, and in particular - disks. However, the selection of these components should be approached not only from the side of aesthetic values, but also the size compliance with the factory requirements of the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013, as well as performance indicators. In the latter case, against the background of stamping, products from light-alloy metals benefit to a large extent. However, financially, not every motorist can afford them.

More about the presented assortment

Relative to forged products, alloy wheels in Moscow are inexpensive structures, but they are more expensive for motorists in comparison with steel rims. However, they are in great demand due to the capabilities of the casting technology to produce real masterpieces in the style of light-alloy products. Lightweight structures can become the main highlight of the exterior of the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013. They offer decent corrosion resistance, which is not the case with steel rims, and exhibit excellent driving characteristics.

Light-alloy rims are made of aluminum or titanium alloy, which are valued for their excellent physical and chemical properties. At the same time, in terms of strength, these alloy metals are not particularly inferior to steel. With light-alloy wheels, the owners of the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013 may not worry about the safety of speed indicators.

In addition, alloy wheels are valued for their fuel efficiency, which is ensured by their lightweight construction and low rolling resistance. In addition, they have excellent thermal conductivity, which helps prevent the possibility of overheating of the braking and running systems. This property allows drivers to feel somewhat more confident in the safety of movement. Light-alloy products are balanced and have high accuracy of geometric parameters.

Difficulties of choice

Such a wide range of disc offers that are offered today by domestic and foreign manufacturers create certain difficulties when purchasing components in Moscow. Indeed, sometimes brands set completely different prices for the same technical characteristics of products. However, does the quality really correspond to the declared indicators?

On the website of the online store "Wheels for Free" you can familiarize yourself with various reviews of motorists who have already managed in practice to evaluate all the advantages and disadvantages of various disks on the Skoda Octavia Liftback 1.4 (1Z) 2004-2013 and make their choice. You can also consult with the competent managers of our store, who will not only be able to choose the best wheel option for you in terms of quality and cost, but will also answer all your questions.

When choosing discs, it is worth noting the importance of the quality factor of the roads on which you move. If you have to overcome the extreme difficulties of the terrain on a daily basis, then it makes sense to give preference only to budget stamped components.

If you have a limited budget, you can always get a more affordable, but equally high quality replica. Moreover, today many brands create copies of original wheels, which are in no way inferior in terms of performance to "native" parts.

Why is it worth buying discs from us in Moscow?

We suggest not to waste time on long searches for reliable distributors of automotive components and to order wheel parts in the "Wheels for Free" online store. We have a wide range of disc models of various types from time-tested manufacturers. We are sure that you will be satisfied with the quality of our service and directly with the purchased goods.

Skoda Octavia A5 is a car brand that is part of the Volkswagen Group. The model was produced in the period from 2004 to 2013, after which it was replaced by a newer modification.

The release of the updated version in 2009 did not in any way affect the change in the size of tires, disks. They are all also interchangeable with each other.

• During maintenance, check the geometry, wheel balancing on a special diagnostic stand. If deviations are found, restore the integrity of the structure;
• If cracks, dents form on the rim, immediately contact a service station for prevention;
• Avoid hitting road bumps at high and medium speeds. Regardless of the material, workmanship, the disc will be deformed, the tightness will be broken;
• Pay attention to the pressure in the tires, it should not be lower / higher than the manufacturer's recommended pressure. If you deviate, pump up;
• Timely switch to summer / winter mode. This means that in summer the tire pressure is 0.15 atm higher, in winter it is lower by the same amount. The parameters are indicated in the vehicle operating instructions;
• Tighten the nuts on the rim with a torque wrench. Excessive tightening contributes to the breakage of the studs, weak - in an emergency, unscrewing the wheel.

In dry, sunny weather, cast aluminum wheels are least susceptible to destructive external influences. But in slush, ice, when the road is strewn with various chemical reagents, the rim is most susceptible to corrosion. This provokes the peeling of the paint, the destruction of the molecular composition.

Wash the wheels as soon as they become dirty. Since it is unlikely that it will be possible to clean it with a rag, use high-pressure compressors. Equipment of this class is available at many service stations, workshops, service centers.

Systematic polishing allows you to get rid of scratches and scuffs. Pre-clean the wheel from dirt, dry thoroughly, and then treat with a chemical. Wipe with a microfiber cloth several times.

Store the wheels in a suspended position without touching each other. Clean them beforehand, dry them, wrap them in cellophane.

Some motorists practice applying an aerosol to the surface before conservation. However, this is a purely personal decision of the owner.

Decoding of tire marking on Skoda Octavia A5

Factory made tires have the following markings on the sidewalls:

• Width;
• Height;
• Rim diameter;
• Designation of the type of construction;
• Load index;
• Speed ​​index;
• Strengthening of sidewalls, lamellas, if required by technical characteristics;
• Manufacturer country name;
• DOT - manufacturer's encrypted code according to the international specification;
• Outside designation for asymmetrical tires;
• M&S - marking indicating the intended use of rubber for use on slippery surfaces, in slush, on loose snow;
• An eight-digit code indicating compliance with the ESE standard;
• Tire type: tube, tubeless;
• Detail of construction;
• Name of the brand, company;
• Model;
• Data on permissible maximum load and pressure.

Some features of the marking of American tires

The driver encounters the European alphanumeric designation of rubber disks much more often than with the American one. When choosing and buying consumables, it is often difficult to understand the size, dimensions, diameter, thickness, height.

• "P" - exclusively for the passenger class;
• "LT" - category "C", commercial transport;
• 5 R16: typical designation of an American tire, wheel.

Where, 32 is the outside diameter in inches. 11.5 is width in inches, R is radial design, 16 is inner diameter (inch).

• XL on the sidewalls: reinforced tire with nylon inserts to prevent damage while riding;
• Extra Load: index of maximum load. For example, 92 is equal to 680 kg. Exceeding the specified boundary range is not desirable, as it can lead to deformation, rupture of the disc, tire;
• All Season: the familiar to us designation from the European class, denoting all-season, operation in any weather;
• * (snowflake): for using rubber at negative temperatures, on snow, ice, slippery surfaces. The absence of the pictogram allows the tire to be used as a summer one;
