Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Octavia vRS: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Flush, poke and tucked fitment: measure the whole tyreUnderstand flush, poked and tucked wheels, calculate how width and offset change the look, and check clearance beyond a parked side-on photograph.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

18-inch wider road setup
- Front and rear
- 18 × 8.5 inch, ET42 · 225/40 R18
LFI records this size on a 2018 Octavia RS and lists this tyre size for the package. Check rear arch clearance on facelift cars and the approved rim-width range of the chosen tyre.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- The wheel-bolt torque is 120 Nm. Standard wheels use spherical-seat bolts; LFI wheels in the cited guide require conical-seat bolts.
- Owner fitment comparisons identify a 38 mm wider rear track on the facelift vRS. Wider, lower-offset wheels therefore need more care at the rear than on earlier cars.
- The factory 19-inch Xtreme wheel is 7.5 inches wide at ET51 with a 225/35 R19 tyre. Do not substitute specifications from similarly named wheels for other Skoda models.
- Mk4 Octavia fitments are not automatically transferable; the examples here identify Mk3 cars.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

An owner documents that size with 225/40 R18 tyres and H&R springs. Confirm the wheel design clears the brakes.
Why is rear fitment tighter on the facelift vRS?
