Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Skoda Praktik is compared with the one from Skoda Fabia I of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

    Compared with the original ≈5Jx14 ET42 on Skoda Fabia I: shock absorber side +7.3 mm, wheel arch side +5.3 mm, tyre diameter +2.4 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Skoda Fabia I (165/70R14), not that of Skoda Praktik. Comparison for guidance only (estimated width). Check in detail

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Skoda Fabia I (M14x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
