Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Most of the engineering value in a forged wheel over a cast one shows up in rotational mass, not outright strength — both can meet the same load rating, but the forged piece gets there lighter. On a sedan platform tuned for everyday balance, that weight saving is felt directly in steering response and ride quality.
The Skoda Octavia RS iV Combi ships from the factory on a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 57.1mm center bore and a 19x7.5J ET46 wheel. Our flush reference for the Skoda Octavia RS iV Combi is 19x8.5J ET38.; our maximum aggressive reference is 20x8.5J ET35. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Skoda Octavia RS iV Combi OE Wheel Specs
The Skoda Octavia RS iV Combi ships from the factory on 5x112 bolt pattern wheels with a 57.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 19x7.5J ET46, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.

- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
