NSW wheels (with tyres?) with a 5x112 stud pattern - ~ET42. diameter - open

[brad]

I need some new tyres for my Skoda Octavia and thought I may as well ditch my 17x8BBS (ET35). Extremely open to ideas.

I need a stud pattern of 5 x 112 (eg Most later Audis, Passats, MkV / MkVI Golf & Jetta, Skoda Octavia, etc).

I've been running 17x8 BBS with an ET35 and I want to get back to something around 40-42mm (not as much outward poke).

happy to stick with 17" or go up to 18".

In fact, if the price is right & the tyres are good, I'm happy to go back to OEM 16"

Anyone got anything taking up space in their garage?

Nice wheels - I saw them on eBay. The tyres are way too big though - they'll add almost 50mm to the overall diameter. I'd need to fit 215/40x18s or 225/35x18.

Anyway, I'll keep it in mind & see what turns up. Thanks

They would bolt straight onto an Octavia, 17s, staggered offset, recent high performance tyres.

I saw those. I didn't like the staggered offset. I'm a chronic tyre rotater.

You can call off the search for a bit. Bought 4 as-new rims & Michelin tyres (<1000km on them) for $400. Not sure about the rims (ET50) but the tyres will be fine. Will find out Saturday when I pick them up

Thanks for your interest and help folks
