Anyone know the width and offset of these? Advice for offset?

[Pullstarter]

Hey guys,
Trying to work out what fitment to go for with some after market wheels on my 08 VRS wagon. At the moment I have these factory wheels:

Does anyone know the width and offset of these? Trying to work out what to get so they sit a bit more flush but don't want scrubbing. If anyone can reccomend a width and offset to achieve this it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks guys
Simon

I believe they're Zeniths, 18 x 7.5 ET51.

Pretty sure you'll find the fitments for the Skoda will be similar to the equivalent Golfs, possibly with a little more room in the rear guards again.

Something in the 18 x 8 ET45-48 range would look good and not generally cause any rub issues - you can go up from there but then risk the possibility of scrub depending on your suspension.

Would recommend checking into what some of the Skoda guys have done as I am far from an expert.

Thanks Dutch, good info

According to this they're 7.5in wide and ET51 OCTAVIA ALLOY WHEEL ZENITH VRS 18 INCH 2005-2008

I'd try an 8 wide and et45-40.

Thanks cbay, probably looking at getting some of these:

ENKEI T6S 18x8+45 5-112 MatteBlack

They fit the specs that should suit.

I have the exact same wheel specs on my 2012 vRS wagon with 225/40/R18 tyres. The fronts sit pretty close to flush with the stock guards and the rears are about 5-7mm in from the guards. If spacers were legal I'd whack a spacer in the rears for sure.

I find the following website very handy for comparing

Thanks Don good to know!

I'm about to go to 235 tyres to get a little extra width on the rears.

Largest I'd say to go is 18x8 ET48.
I have 18x8 ET44 and with 235/40R18's they scrub all four corners. With 225's they're not so bad.
Going back to some 18x7.5 ET51's as soon as I find some that fit, though - these are too heavy!

Is yours lowered?

Is yours lowered?

It is, yes - but that means the wheels sit closer into the guards all the time.
If it wasn't lowered, they would still scrub when flexing suspension; as in entering a steep car park or a driveway.
