All about wheels for the Skoda Rapid car

Tires and wheels are important elements of a car's chassis, because the safety and level of comfort of both the driver and passengers depend on their quality.

Low-quality tires significantly reduce some vehicle performance indicators (for example, braking distance), and incorrectly selected wheels can become deformed in a seemingly simple situation. Therefore, it is very important to approach the issue of their choice with full responsibility. In addition, the right wheels can perfectly complement the design of the Skoda Rapid.

What tire sizes does the manufacturer recommend installing on the Skoda Rapid?

First of all, it is necessary to clarify that you should first select wheels, and only then select tires for them. However, if you already have factory wheels, then you can immediately select the most optimal tires for them. Skoda Rapid, like any other car, has its own wheel markings. For example, standard wheels from the manufacturer that are installed on the Skoda Rapid are designated as 5J x 14 ET35 in the Active car modification. PCD 5x100. Below is a breakdown of all disc marking meanings:

• 5J – the number “5” indicates the width of the rim, which is measured in inches, and the symbol “J” indicates the type of profile;
• “14” is the rim diameter in inches. It is important to maintain a balance between the rim radius and the tire profile. After all, for large-diameter wheels it is necessary to select low-profile tires, which will somewhat reduce the level of comfort when driving on uneven road surfaces;
• "ET35" - means "disc offset". The number “35” means the amount of overhang in millimeters. One of the key values, since if selected incorrectly, friction of the wheel on the suspension elements may occur;
• “PCD 5 x 100” is the location of the wheel bolts or, in common parlance, “bolt pattern.” In this case, the disk is fixed with five bolts at a distance of 100 mm. This is a key parameter that you should rely on when choosing wheels.

Below is a schematic representation of the rim of this car:

On the Skoda Rapid car there are various wheels of different diameters, but the manufacturer recommends the following types:

If the owner of a Skoda Rapid strives to reveal some of the tuning potential of this car, giving it a more sporty character, then you can install R16 or even R17 wheels, which will have a more attractive appearance. But still, this option is most suitable for the summer period. It should also be taken into account that when installing disks of this radius, the warranty on suspension elements ceases to apply, since this type of disk is not recommended. In addition, the car’s suspension will become less energy-intensive and all unevenness in the road surface will be greater.

After the wheels have been purchased, you can select tires. It is selected in accordance with the markings of the disks. So, for option 5J x 14 ET35. PCD 5x100 fits tires marked 175/70 R14. 84T. Below is a breakdown of this rubber marking:

• “175” is the width of the tire profile, measured in millimeters;
• “70” is the percentage ratio of the tire profile height to its width;
• “R” - type of tire design, in this case radial;
• “R14” — disk diameter;
• “84” is the load index on one wheel at high speeds. In this case, this load is 515 kg;
• "T" is the speed index. In other words, this is a parameter that shows the maximum driving speed on the specified tires. "T" means speed limit after 190 km/h.

Below is a schematic breakdown of the R15 tire markings:

The manufacturer of this car recommends not only a certain type of wheels, but also recommends the following type of tires:

As for owners who decide to install wheels with a 16 radius, the following rule should be followed: the narrower the profile, the better. However, as previously noted, installing wheels of a non-standard size will lead the owner to void the warranty on the car’s chassis. The bottom photo shows a black alloy wheel, which looks especially good on the white version of the Skoda Rapid:

Wheel sizes for Skoda Rapid recommended by the manufacturer.

If you wish, you can install 16-inch wheels on the Skoda Rapid as a tuning solution, but I would recommend this option for the summer and the warranty will naturally not apply in this case.

After choosing the wheels, you can start choosing tires. Knowing the markings of the wheels, we can select the size of the Skoda Rapid tire . For example, for the first version of wheels, tires for Skoda Rapid will be marked 175/70 R14. 84T. What do the symbols on the label mean?

• 175 — (in millimeters) width of the tire profile.
• 70 — (as a percentage of width) height of the tire profile
• R – radial tire design
• 14 — disk diameter in inches
• 84 — wheel load index at maximum speed (respectively 84 – maximum load 515 kg)
• T – maximum permissible speed with these tires is 190 km/h

What non-standard tire and wheel sizes can be installed on the Skoda Rapid

Before purchasing custom wheels, you should first decide on the type of wheels: stamped, cast or forged wheels. After this, in accordance with the year of manufacture of the car, as well as its engine, you should decide on the size of the wheels. Below is a table that shows the original sizes of tires and wheels for the Skoda Rapid, as well as their analogues, which will greatly simplify the choice of summer and winter wheels:

What is the tire pressure for the Skoda Rapid?

The required tire pressure for a Skoda Rapid can be found on the plate, which is located on the driver's door, in the glove compartment, on the fuel tank cap (pictured), and in some cases under the hood.

In addition, it should be borne in mind that the optimal pressure level is not always the same and changes depending on riding conditions. The tire pressure indicated on the sticker is accepted for several values, since the dimensions of the wheels being installed are taken into account, as well as the total load on the vehicle (the number of passengers and the volume of cargo in the luggage compartment). It is extremely important to maintain the optimal level of pressure, because this mainly affects the uniform wear of the tires. For example, if you drive a car on overinflated wheels, then increased tire wear will be visible in the middle part of the tread. If you drive on flat tires, the sides of the tread will wear out the fastest, not to mention the possible deformation of the disc when driving on uneven roads. It is recommended to monitor the pressure in the wheels at least once a week and, if necessary, pump them up. Indeed, due to the difference in tire pressure, the car can pull to the side, this is especially noticeable at high speeds.

Below is a table showing all the main pressure parameters for standard and non-standard wheels of the Skoda Rapid:

What wheel size to choose for Skoda of different models

When choosing a wheel size for a Skoda car, you must take into account the parameters and requirements of the manufacturer.

By deviating from the standards stipulated in the technical documentation of the car regarding the installation of wheels and tires, the car owner dooms himself to problems related to safety precautions.

For each Skoda car model, there are requirements for choosing the wheel size depending on the parameters of the diametral and center holes, bolt pattern, and tire pressure.

Skoda Yeti - wheel and tire sizes

In 2009, the Czech company presented a compact crossover car – the Skoda Yeti. At the Geneva Motor Show, a crossover based on the Volkswagen A5 was demonstrated. It is also worth noting that the platform and engine on the Yeti were taken from the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The Czech crossover is equipped with R16, R17 rims. The wheel bolt pattern is 5×112, and the center hole is 57.1 mm. Thus, Yeti is equipped with rims and tires with the following indicators:

• 0J PCD 5×112 ET45 TsO57, 1;
• 0J PCD 5×112 ET45 CO 57, 1.

Fans of large rims can use the R18 with a 5x112 wheel bolt pattern, 8.0J ET43 diameter and 57.1 centering hole. As for the factory tire parameters, the Yeti offers the following sizes:

• 205x50xR17;
• 205x55xR16;
• 215x60xR16;
• 215x55xR17.

Fans of larger wheels can use 225x45xR18 tires. The tire pressure on the Skoda Yeti should be 2.4 bar.

Wheel size on a Skoda Rapid car

The Skoda Rapid car model is considered one of the oldest in the world. Since Czech manufacturers began producing the first series of these cars in the 30s of the last century. At the moment, manufacturers produce 3 modifications of Rapid.

In the line of the Czech brand, this model is located between the Fabia and Octavia cars. On the domestic market, the Skoda Rapid is presented in four trim levels (Active, Style, Ambition, Entry) and with three engine options:

Engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 90 hp. and 5-speed manual transmission:

• wheels 7Jx16ET35, where the number 7 indicates the width in inches, 16 – diameter, 35 – offset;
• tires with dimensions 215x45xR16, where 215 indicates the width, 45 indicates the profile height and 16 indicates the rim diameter;
• tires 215x40xR17 and wheels 7J 17ET35.

Engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 110 hp. and 5-speed manual transmission:

• tires 215x40xR17 and 215x40xR17;
• wheels with sizes 7J 17ET35 and 7J 16ET35.

Turbocharged engine with a volume of 1.4 liters and a power of 125 hp. and robotic automatic transmission DSG:

• tires 215x45xR16;
• wheels 7J 16ET35.

Also among the characteristics we highlight:

• drill PCD 5×100, where the number 5 indicates the number of holes, and the number 100 indicates the size of the circle in mm;
• The diameter of the centering hole is 57.1 mm;
• the pressure in the front and rear tires should be 2 and 2.2 bar;
• tire pressure 2.2 bar.

If we are talking about choosing car tires for the Skoda Rapid, then it is worth taking into account the standard sizes of the wheel rim. Most often, car enthusiasts prefer to choose tire sizes for Rapid:

• 205x60xR15;
• 225x45xR17;
• 205x65xR16;
• 195x65xR17.

At the same time, car tires of the following brands are in demand: Michelin, Pirelli, Nokian, Alutec. It is also necessary to select wheels depending on the season of operation of the vehicle. For example, in the winter season it is better to use denser tires 205x65xR16. In the summer, you can switch to low profile tires 225x45xR17.

Review of the best summer and winter tires for the Skoda Rapid

The Skoda Rapid car is quite popular in our country, so without any difficulty you can look through reviews of real owners on different types of tires. Below is a table showing the rating of the best summer tire models of different sizes:

The following table shows the rating of the best winter tires for the Skoda Rapid:

Skoda Rapid NH Facelift 2022 1.6MPi 110

Generation: NH Facelift Engine: CWVA, I4, Gasoline Power: 110 hp (81 kW) Equipment: Active, Ambition, Style, Monte Carlo

Wheel bolt pattern parameters

What wheel sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

The Skoda Rapid NH Facelift 2022 1.6MPi 110 is equipped with 6Jx15 ET38 rims and 185/60 R15 86T tires as standard. Where:

• 6J - rim width in inches;
• 15″ — tire diameter in inches;
• ET38 - disc offset in millimeters.

The vehicle tire marking 185/60 R15 is deciphered as follows:

• 185 — profile width (cross section of the tire) in millimeters;
• 60 - profile height as a percentage of its width;
• R - radial cord winding;
• 15 is the tire diameter in inches.

In addition, information about its load capacity and speed parameters can be printed on the rubber - load index and speed index. The load index is a two- or three-digit number; the speed index is indicated in Latin letters, for example 86T:

• 86 - maximum permissible tire load 530 kg;
• T — maximum permissible vehicle speed is 190 km/h.

Using the recommended tire sizes will help you avoid problems with handling, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be supplied? Refer to the table; it indicates possible acceptable alternative sizes for tuning. Although there are other options that we have not described in the table. For example, wider discs of the same diameter. Or install wheels of the same width, but with a larger diameter, which is quite popular among car owners. The choice of discs is huge; you can find copies with the same parameters, but with an overhang 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.

At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 5x100. Thus, all disks are fastened with five bolts and the distance between them is exactly one hundred millimeters. The car's hub diameter is 57.1 mm.

Standard tire pressure is 2/2.2 MPa.

Parameters of standard Skoda Rapid bolts

Wheel fastening elements in Skoda Rapid are presented in the form of bolts, which have standard parameters of M14 diameter and 1.5 thread pitch. All of them have a standard turnkey head or a head on “19”, are made of steel and coated with zinc. In addition, a cone-shaped seat is provided. However, it is worth noting that although they are the same size, the bolts may differ in length. As a rule, alloy wheels are fixed with longer bolts of 29 and 33 mm, and standard “stamping” is 27 mm. The wheel bolts also come with caps that prevent dust and dirt from getting under the cap.

When installing wheels, tighten the mounting bolts strictly diagonally so that the wheel is evenly pressed against the hub. It is very important to control the tightening torque, as the thread can be stripped. It is recommended to first press the wheel evenly on a suspended car, and only then press it without jerking on the ground.

What do the numbers mean?

The main parameters that determine the marking of a wheel for a passenger car are:

Where is the crash written on the discs?

• R - Rim diameter (in inches);
• J - Rim width (in inches);
• DIA - Hub bore diameter (in mm);
• ET – The distance between the vertical axis of the rim to the plane where the disc abuts the hub.

Hub bore measurement (DIA)

Note: This value may be zero, plus, or, when the disc is strongly concave, negative.

This parameter is very important, since if it is chosen incorrectly, the disk may not fit in its normal place, even if all other sizes are suitable. How to find out the disc offset is shown in one of the photos above.

Types of departures: negative, zero, positive

• LZ – number of places for fastening the disk with bolts or nuts on a stud;
• PCD is the diameter of the circle in millimeters, along the perimeter of which the mounting holes are located (this is precisely the bolt pattern).

Where is the bolt pattern indicated on alloy wheels: there is complete information on the packaging

Note: There is no place to see this size on the discs unless there is a shipping box.

You have to measure this size yourself, but doing this with a tape measure or caliper is inconvenient. It’s easier to use the calculation coefficients that we presented below.

As a last resort, you can simply try the disk on the hub and try to tighten the nuts (or bolts).

If the disk is not original, but universal, it may have double drilling - for example: 5*100/5*114.3. It can be installed on cars with PCD 5*100, and on cars with PCD 5*114.3.

Universal discs with double drilling

The hub hole on universal discs is usually made larger - for example: 67.1 as for Mitsubishi, which has a bolt pattern of 5 * 114.3.

To put these wheels on, say, a Chevrolet with a 5*100 bolt pattern and a 57.1 hub, you only need a plastic adapter measuring 67.1*57.1.

Adapter rings (hub adapter)

These numbers correspond to the outer and inner diameters of the ring, with which you can change from 67 to 57 hub.

Dimensions of standard Skoda Rapid wheels

All wheel sizes for the Skoda Rapid - Razboltovka.ru In our directory you will find the wheel parameters for all Skoda Rapid models, the minimum and maximum allowable wheel sizes recommended by the manufacturer.

Despite the fact that this information is taken from the websites of auto manufacturers, our catalog is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee full compliance of the proposed sizes with your car.

Maximum and minimum possible parameters of non-standard Skoda Rapid wheels

The most important parameter when choosing a wheel rim is its bolt pattern. For the Skoda Rapid car it is 5x100 mm. Based on this parameter, you should select discs of different diameters. As for the minimum values, it is highly not recommended to install wheels with a diameter of less than 14 inches (although some models are suitable). This is due to the fact that the manufacturer guarantees a safe and comfortable ride only on standard factory wheel sizes. For example, if you install rims with a radius of 13 on a Skoda Rapid, then there is a high probability of a decrease in ground clearance (it all depends on the type of tires chosen). The maximum permissible wheel size is 17 inches; a larger value may cause friction between the wheel and the wheel arch when driving on uneven road surfaces.

Disc offset is also an important characteristic that needs to be paid attention to. Its standard value is 35 mm, however, many Skoda Rapid owners install wheels with a 45 mm offset.

And in conclusion, it is worth adding that the manufacturer Skoda installs standard wheels with a radius of 14, 15 and 16 mm on its Rapid models. It is these parameters that should be adhered to if there is a desire to change the car’s shoes. After all, many sensor readings (for example, the odometer), as well as the chassis of the car as a whole, depend on the size of the wheels. The larger the radius of the disk, the smaller the tire profile, which means that all unevenness from the road surface will be much clearer, which will lead not only to faster wear of the suspension element, but also to possible deformation of the disks.

What parameters to pay attention to when choosing wheels?

All Skoda Rapid owners who choose alloy wheels often wonder how to make the right choice from such a huge range of products? Thus, the purchase of quality products often depends on the following criteria:

• The buyer should contact a reliable dealer, where he will be absolutely sure that he will buy an original product, and not a replica of dubious quality at an inflated price.
• You need to read the reviews on the website in order to be sure of the quality of the product, its ideal shape and resistance to impact. In addition, an important factor will be the absence of the need for complex and time-consuming balancing of the wheel, which indicates the homogeneity of its composition.
• The appearance of the wheel is important, since owners of black and white Skoda Rapid often choose wheels painted in glossy black, and owners of “iron horses” of a different color can install chrome-plated, polished and even gold-plated products.
• The last thing that the future owner of the rims should worry about is the price, because a high-quality cast or forged rim simply cannot cost too little, since it requires significant resources and labor, which includes both manufacturing and hand polishing, and product quality control.

When choosing a wheel rim, you should also pay attention to the country of origin, because the factories of many companies may not even have branches in a given country, which openly indicates that the product is counterfeit.

About the bolt pattern of wheels on Skoda (Skoda)

The Skoda Rapid wheel bolt pattern is a fairly common parameter for European cars due to its relationship with the Volkswagen model range. This is due to the fact that most of the concern’s machines have the same parameters for convenience and to reduce the cost of production.

The bolt pattern of Skoda Rapid wheels is specified by the factory as 5x100. For fastening, five bolts are used, the holes for which are located on a circle with a diameter of 100 millimeters. Wheels can be installed either very small R15 or huge for a small car R17. By choosing the right set of wheels and tires for this car, you can radically change the appearance and achieve a good level of handling and smoothness.

Choosing tires for Skoda Rapid

When you have already decided on the wheels, you can confidently approach the selection of tires for your car.

Tires are chosen depending on the season. As well as design preferences.

Tires come in low-profile and wide-profile.

Low profile

designed for dynamic driving. They adhere best to asphalt. However, on a bad road they can burst and even bend the disc.

Wide-profile

They are used mainly for average coatings and in the autumn-winter season. These tires will feel much better on poor surfaces with potholes.

As for the choice of tire sizes for the Skoda Rapid, there are three tire options, depending on the wheels that come with each configuration:

• 175/70. R14. 84T
• 185/60. R15. 84T
• 195/55. R15. 85T

Now let’s decipher the tire performance for the minimum configuration of the Skoda Rapid:

• 175 — tire profile width (millimeters)
• 70 - tire profile height (% of width)
• R – radial tire design
• 14 — disk diameter (inches) 84 — wheel load index at max. speed (which means 84 is a max. load of 515kg)
• T – with these tires you can accelerate to a maximum of 190 km/h.

Tire performance diagram.

And something else to remember:

If you put wheels on a Skoda Rapid

from the list recommended by the manufacturer (for example, 16-inch wheels on low-profile tires), then you will automatically be deprived of your warranty. And this is very unpleasant, you will agree. Therefore, listen to the recommendations of the car manufacturer - take the parameters that suit you. After all, road safety also depends on this.

Wheels and tires are an integral part of the vehicle's chassis system. They provide safe and comfortable driving for drivers and their passengers. The level of reliability that the car will have on the road both in summer and in the cold season depends on the level of their quality.

Saving on vehicle wheels entails the expected results: poor-quality tires increase the braking distance, contributing to the risk of a traffic accident, and low-quality wheels crack and deform under minor loads.

What sizes of rims and tires does KOLOBOX recommend for the Skoda Rapid?

The size of the wheel components depends on the year of manufacture and modification of the car. To date, the Skoda Rapid, produced since 2013, is presented in a single modification.

From the table data it is clear that Skoda Rapid tires must have parameters in the following ranges: width 175 to 215 mm, profile value as a division of width by height, from 45 to 70%, and the diameter of radial tires varies from 14 to 17 inches.

What tires are suitable for the Skoda Rapid in winter?

Skoda Rapid is popular in Russia and occupies one of the leading positions in the market. This makes it easier to find suitable car tires for it, because... On the Internet it’s easy enough to find reviews of tires used for Skoda. You can also refer to the lists of leading tires that differ in technical characteristics and quality.

For tires marked 175/70 and a diameter of 14 inches, the following brands can be distinguished:

• Pirelli Ice Zero 84T
• Maxxis NP3 Arctic Trekker 88T
• Cordiant Winter Drive PW-1 84T

For tires size 185/60 and diameter 15 (radial design), you should pay attention to:

• Maxxis NP3 Arctic Trekker 88T
• Pirelli Ice Zero Friction 88T (XL)
• Cordiant Snow Cross (PW-2) 84T
• Nitto Therma Spike 84T

If a driver wants to install tires marked 195/55 and a diameter of 15 inches on a Skoda Rapid, then you need to consider the following models:

• Pirelli Winter Snow Control Serie III 85H
• Cordiant Winter Drive PW-1 85T
• BFGoodrich G-Force Stud 89Q (XL)

Which tires are suitable for the Skoda Rapid in the summer?

When purchasing summer sets of tires, experienced car enthusiasts pay attention to both their external characteristics and combination with the car, as well as the properties that these tires will exhibit during operation. It is necessary to focus on the size of the wheels and their compliance with the vehicle. An excessively large wheel diameter will lead to rapid wear of the rubber, because the friction created between it and the car's arch will slowly destroy it.

Low-profile tires, as a method of car tuning, will undermine ride comfort, forcing the driver and his passengers to feel every imperfection of the road surface. In addition to comfort, the wear resistance of the vehicle's suspension will also suffer.

For size 175/70 with a tire diameter of 14 inches, you should pay attention to the following models:

• Kama Euro-129 84H
• Nokian Nordman SX 2 175/70 R14 84T
• Hankook Optimo MEO2 K424 84H

• Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde 88H (XL)
• Kama Euro-236 84H
• Cordiant Sport 2 PS-501 84H

For tires size 195/55R15, you can pay attention to the following models:

• Maxxis MA-Z4S Victra 85V
• Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde 85H (KS)

Laufenn S-Fit EQ (LK01) 85H

Wheel rim bolt pattern is a value taken into account when selecting them. The wheel bolt pattern of the Skoda Rapid is 5x100, i.e. five mounting holes located on a 100 mm circle.

If the driver, when replacing car wheels on this car, decided to resort to their non-standard characteristics, then you should not choose wheels with the R14 dimension. The vehicle manufacturer does not provide guarantees for the comfort and safety of the driver and his passengers while driving.

The maximum disc diameter is 17 inches. If the size is larger, car tires will wear out due to friction against the wheel arch of the car.

When choosing, stick to diameters from 14 to 16 inches, i.e. those that are installed by the manufacturer itself.

For 14 inch wheels the following pressure must be maintained:

• With a minimum load of 2.1 Atm on the front wheels and 2.2 Atm on the rear.
• At increased loads 2.4 Atm on the front wheels and 2.5 Atm on the rear.

For 15-inch tires you need the following pressure:

• With a minimum load of 2.1 Atm on the front wheels and 2.3 Atm on the rear.
• At increased loads 2.4 Atm on the front wheels and 2.6 Atm on the rear.

If the vehicle is equipped with tires with a diameter of 16 inches, the pressure is:

• With a minimum load of 2.0 Atm on the front wheels and 2.1 Atm on the rear.
• At increased loads 2.3 Atm on the front wheels and 2.4 Atm on the rear.

Tires with a diameter of 17 inches require the following pressure:

• With a minimum load of 2.2 Atm on the front wheels and 2.2 Atm on the rear.
• At increased loads 2.5 Atm on the front wheels and 2.5 Atm on the rear.

What effect does tire and wheel size have on vehicle performance?

Consider the impact in the table below:

The bolt pattern of Skoda Rapid wheels is specified by the factory as 5x100. For fastening, five bolts are used, the holes for which are located on a circle with a diameter of 100 millimeters. Wheels can be installed either very small R15 or huge for a small car R17. By choosing the right set of wheels and tires for this car, you can radically change the appearance and achieve a good level of handling and smoothness.

"Skoda Rapid": wheel bolt pattern and their appearance

Improving a personal car is a procedure that no true car enthusiast will refuse. The so-called tuning, which is carried out by replacing parts and components installed at the factory with completely new, sportier and improved ones. In this case, usually the first thing to replace is the rims, which are most responsible for the appearance of any vehicle. The size, shape and color of the installed wheels can radically change the exterior. Well-chosen wheels can both decorate a car and make it less attractive.

The bolt pattern of the Skoda Fabia is identical to the Rapid parameters.

All professionals and specialists know that the appearance of a car is not always the main thing, since all improvements must still be of high quality. It is recommended to purchase only original components from official manufacturers. For example, the bolt pattern of Rapid wheels must be exactly as indicated in the technical documentation, and also correspond to the factory-installed wheel and tire sizes.

Inconsistency of these parameters leads to incorrect and unsafe operation of the vehicle. In the best case, if you miscalculate the bolt pattern of the wheel rims, they simply won’t install. But the use of adapter rings allows you to install even wheels that do not fit. In this case, driving a car will be associated with constant risk.

The wheel bolt pattern of the Skoda Yeti differs from other models - Superb or Roomster. This is due to the increased size of the crossover.

Bolting and drilling are the same parameter, just with a different name. The bolt pattern of any car is designated as PCD. For a simple understanding of the term, the following explanation is used: drilling is the number of bolts and the diameter of the circle on which holes are drilled for them. The number of bolts is counted in pieces, and the diameter size is counted in the millimeter system.

Most car owners do not pay attention to drilling data, and therefore experience problems when choosing and purchasing new products. Replacing old ones is usually required when they wear out or when the seasons change. If you know this data during selection, then you can say with complete confidence that the disk will fit.

Since it is impossible to visually determine the diameter size yourself, you will need at least a ruler, or better yet, a caliper. But counting the number of bolts for fastening will not be a problem. Next, you need to insert the obtained diameter data into a special formula. These are different for three, four and five bolt products, so it is important to pay attention to this. High measurement accuracy is also required.

Incorrectly selected tires or wheels for the Skoda Rapid are a high risk of threatening the safety of the driver and passengers. At best, low-quality tires will negatively affect the level of wear of parts and suspension components, and at worst, they can cause an accident.

Skoda Rapid in the latest generation

Wheel looseness

Different wheels were used on the Skoda Octavia in different generations. Usually this information is indicated in the service book or technical documents of the car. Also, on each vehicle there is a sign that says which wheels and tires are suitable.

Let's look at the wheel bolt pattern for the Skoda Octavia according to the manufacturer's data by year of manufacture and generation:

About the bolt pattern of wheels on Skoda (Skoda)

This is due to the fact that the manufacturer guarantees a safe and comfortable ride only on standard factory wheel sizes. For example, if you install rims with a radius of 13 on a Skoda Rapid, then there is a high probability of a decrease in ground clearance; it all depends on the type of tires chosen.

The maximum permissible wheel size is 17 inches; a larger value may cause friction between the wheel and the wheel arch when driving on uneven road surfaces. Disc offset is also an important characteristic that needs to be paid attention to. Its standard value is 35 mm, however, many Skoda Rapid owners install wheels with a 45 mm offset.

And in conclusion, it is worth adding that the manufacturer Skoda installs standard wheels with a radius of 14, 15 and 16 mm on its Rapid models. It is these parameters that should be adhered to if there is a desire to change the car’s shoes.

After all, many sensor readings, such as the odometer, and the chassis of the car as a whole depend on the size of the wheels. All professionals and specialists know that the appearance of a car is not always the main thing, since all improvements must still be of high quality.

It is recommended to purchase only original components from official manufacturers. Inconsistency of these parameters leads to incorrect and unsafe operation of the vehicle.

1. What are PCD and CO, and what are the values ​​of these parameters?

Wheels from the original catalogs of a certain car model are not always to the taste of all owners, and then they have to look for other wheel options from cars with similar wheel parameters.

For example, there are Interlagos R18 wheels (from VW Passat CC and Scirocco), and they can also be installed on the Octavia A7, it’s a matter of taste - who likes what, but there are a lot of options:

The most important thing is that the rims fit on the hub of your car without modifications (yes, you can use adapter spacers, but we will not consider this option, since now we are talking about selecting rims without modifications and adapters - that is, bolt-on).

In order to choose a wheel rim that matches your hub, you need to know two parameters:

• hub bolt pattern (PCD)
  (also called drill pattern, applied to wheel rims), which determines the number of holes for the wheel bolts, as well as the diameter of the circle around which they are located. This parameter looks like this: 5×112, where 5 is the number of holes (can range from 3 to 6 for passenger cars), and 112 is the diameter of the circle in millimeters along which the holes are located (for the VAG concern this parameter has 3 values: 100 mm , 112 mm, 130 mm);
• the diameter of the central hole (CO) of the disk
  (also known as the landing diameter of the hub), which determines the diameter of the mounting hole of the wheel disk with which the disk is centered on the hub. This parameter looks like: CO 57.1, where the number indicates the diameter of this hole in millimeters. Typically the disc has a hole that is 0.1mm larger than the diameter on the hub to allow the disc to slide onto the hub more easily. If the center of the wheel on the wheel is larger than the fit on the hub, then you can select an adapter centering ring (it is better not to install plastic ones, since when the brakes get too hot, they begin to melt, so it is better to give preference to aluminum ones).

For more information on how to choose the right size tires and wheels, read the article about the features of choosing wheels for a car.

So, now we know the first and main parameter for selecting wheel rims - this is the bolt pattern and CO, we will build on them. In the table below you can find your car and find out its PCD and CO. Once you have determined the PCD and CO of your car, even lower you will find separate tables where you can find lists of concern cars, sorted in accordance with the selected wheel rim sizes. These tables contain all the models from which you can select wheel rims so that they can be installed on the hub of the selected car without any problems.

2. PCD and CO table for various models of Audi, Porsche, Skoda, SEAT and Volkswagen

After a certain time, any owner of a Skoda Octavia A5 thinks about replacing the standard tires and wheels. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the factory wheel sizes determined by the manufacturer and specified in the technical documentation. Please note that low-profile tires 225/45 R17 are intended primarily for the sports modification of the Skoda Octavia A5 RS with a powerful 200-horsepower turbo engine.

An example of decoding disk designations:

Designation - 6.0Jx15 ET47 5x112 DIA57.1

6.0 — rim width in inches; J - rim flange shape (JJ, JK, K or L options are also possible); 15″ — disk diameter in inches (fitting diameter); ET47 — disc offset in mm; 5×112 — drilling for fasteners (5 holes with a diameter of 112 mm); DIA57.1 - diameter of the central hole in mm.

An example of decoding tire designations:

Designation - 195/65 R15 92H

195 — tire width in mm; 65 — ratio of tire height to width in percent (tire profile); R - tire design (in this case radial); 15 — tire diameter in inches (equal to the rim diameter); 92 - tire load index (91 - 615 kg, 92 - 630 kg); H - speed index (H - up to 210 km/h, V - up to 240 km/h, W - up to 270 km/h)

Features and characteristics of the parameter for the car

On a note! The car of the Czech brand "Skoda Rapid" can be equipped with wheel rims in the base with sizes R15 and R16. If desired, you can install R17 wheels.

The car parameters are as follows:

• R15 - 15/6.0J PCD 5×100 ET 38 TsO 57.1;
• R16 - 16/6.5J PCD 5×100 ET 40 or ET35-38.

In this case, the designations are deciphered as follows:

• R15 (16) - rim diameter, measured in inches;
• 6.0J - rim width, also in the inch system;
• ET 38 (40) - offset, measured in millimeters. This is the distance from the vertical axis of symmetry to the plane of contact between the hub and the disk;
• 5x100 - the number of holes for fastening with nuts and bolts and the diameter of the circle on which they are located, or simply the bolt pattern;
• TsO 57.1 - diameter of the hole for the hub. Measured in millimeters.

Cast, stamped, forged

You can buy wheels for the Skoda Rapid Liftback 1.4TSi / 1.6 MPi 2022 in different designs and made using different technologies. Stamped products are produced by extrusion from a metal blank. They are massive, heavy, and have limited aesthetic qualities.

Die-cast, lightweight, beautiful, made from aluminum alloy, cast under high pressure into molds. Their disadvantage is that they are relatively fragile. Where a dent appears in the stamped one, a crack will appear in the cast one. But the good news is that their cost can range from budget to premium level.

You can also order forged wheels in Moscow. They are the strongest, most durable, but also expensive. Therefore, such discs are often made to order.

Today we will talk about wheels for Skoda Rapid , or rather about tires and wheels for this car.

We will discuss in detail the sizes, markings of tires and which wheels to choose for the Skoda Rapid, as well as the operation and optimal choice of tires for winter and summer.

We will start, of course, with wheels for the Skoda Rapid. First you should choose the wheels, and then the tires on them. But if you already have standard wheels, you can also choose the right tires for them. Let's start with the marking of wheels for the Skoda Rapid. So, the standard wheels that come with the Active configuration of the Skoda Rapid are marked as 5J x 14 ET35. PCD 5x100. Let's figure out what each symbol in the disk marking means.

• The first character is the number 5 - the width of the Rapid rim in inches
• J – letter indicating the shape of the rim profile
• 14 – so many inches in rim diameter
• ET – “disc offset”, that is, the distance in millimeters from the rim mounting plane to the plane of symmetry of the disc
• PCD 5 x 100 – “bolt pattern” or arrangement of rim mounting bolts (5 bolts at intervals of 100 mm).

Parameters for other car brands

The manufacturer's lineup is rich in various models. There are Yeti and Kodiaq crossovers. Large Octavia and Superb sedans, as well as many others.

Skoda Fabia wheel bolt pattern:

• Wheel size - 14 or 15 inches;
• Width - 6.0J millimeters;
• Reach - 37(38) mm;
• Bolt pattern - 5x100;
• The diameter of the central hole is 57.1 millimeters.

Note!

The wheel bolt pattern of the Skoda Felicia is similar to that of the Fabia.

Drilling Skoda Yeti wheels:

• Wheel size - 16 or 17 inches;
• Width - 7.0J millimeters;
• Reach - 45 mm;
• Bolt pattern - 5x112;
• The diameter of the central hole is 57.1 millimeters.

Parameters for Skoda Superb:

2018 Skoda Superb

• Wheel size - 16, 17 or 18 inches;
• Width - 7.0J millimeters;
• Reach - 45 (43) mm;
• Bolt pattern - 5x112;
• The diameter of the central hole is 57.1 millimeters.

A few words about size

The original equipment from the manufacturer provides for the use of a certain size of tires and wheels. They can be replaced depending on the needs of the owner. You just need to take into account that the bolt pattern of the wheels matches completely.

Experts recommend choosing wheels of a smaller diameter for the cold season. They behave better on ice and snow drifts. But in summer it’s good to set a larger diameter. This means that ideally the car owner should have 2 sets of Skoda Rapid Liftback 1.4TSi / 1.6 MPi 2022 wheels. It is better to select them taking into account the advice of professionals for this car model.

How to determine it yourself

For the Felicia and Roomster models, a 5x100 drill bit is used. To determine the parameter yourself, you must use the formula for five fasteners B=A×1.701.

In this case, it is necessary to measure the value A, which indicates the distance between adjacent holes. It can be measured using a regular ruler or more accurately using a caliper. Having received the value of this value, you can easily determine the desired diameter, which is designated as B.

The bolt pattern parameters are the same for most models. In this regard, you can use disks from one model to another. It is very important to observe this parameter; the quality of installation and fastening of the wheels depends on it.

Generation: NH Facelift Engine: CFW, I4, Gasoline Power: 90 hp (66 kW) Equipment: Active, Ambition, Entry, Style, Monte Carlo

Wheel bolt pattern parameters

What wheel sizes does the manufacturer recommend to install?

The Skoda Rapid NH Facelift 2022 1.6MPi 90 is equipped with 5Jx14 ET35 rims and 175/70 R14 84T tires as standard. Where:

• 5J - rim width in inches;
• 14″ — tire diameter in inches;
• ET35 - disc offset in millimeters.

The vehicle tire marking 175/70 R14 is deciphered as follows:

• 175 — profile width (cross section of the tire) in millimeters;
• 70 - profile height as a percentage of its width;
• R - radial cord winding;
• 14 is the tire diameter in inches.

In addition, information about its load capacity and speed parameters can be printed on the rubber - load index and speed index. The load index is a two- or three-digit number; the speed index is indicated in Latin letters, for example 84T:

• 84 - maximum permissible tire load 500 kg;
• T — maximum permissible vehicle speed is 190 km/h.

Using the recommended tire sizes will help you avoid problems with handling, safety and other difficulties. What non-standard sizes can be supplied? Refer to the table; it indicates possible acceptable alternative sizes for tuning. Although there are other options that we have not described in the table. For example, wider discs of the same diameter. Or install wheels of the same width, but with a larger diameter, which is quite popular among car owners. The choice of discs is huge; you can find copies with the same parameters, but with an overhang 1-2 millimeters more or less. It is not possible to list all the options.

At the same time, the bolt pattern for all types of wheels is the same - 5x100. Thus, all disks are fastened with five bolts and the distance between them is exactly one hundred millimeters. The car's hub diameter is 57.1 mm.

Standard tire pressure is 2 MPa.

What kind of wheels are installed on different versions of the car?

Each Skoda car model provides for the installation of wheels with certain sizes depending on the size of the diametrical and center holes. This means that the disks have clearly defined dimensions.

Wheel sizes do not depend on the body shape. For different vehicle configurations and year of manufacture, there are standard wheel options from the Skoda manufacturer itself and acceptable replacements. They have different characteristics and their own designation.

Disk marking includes constant and variable parameters. Let's look at its decoding using an example for the Skoda Rapid Active 5J x 14 ET35. PCD 5100:

• 5J – rim width 5 inches with profile shape “J”,
• 14 – rim diameter in inches, a very important parameter for tire selection,
• ET35 – the offset value is 35 mm, must be correctly selected so that there is no friction between the wheel and the suspension,
• PCD 5100 – bolt pattern with disc fixation with five bolts at a distance of 100 mm.

To better understand what we are talking about, a diagram of a wheel rim is presented indicating the main parameters.

Standard disk sizes

On a Skoda Rapid car you can install wheels with different characteristics - diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern (drilling), central hole, adhering to the standards set out in the technical documentation. Among these parameters there are constants and variables.

Constants are key and are maintained on all modifications of the Skoda Rapid. These are the first things that should be taken into account when choosing disks. This:

• Bolt pattern - the number of bolts for fastening the disk and the diameter of their location. Bolts in the amount of 5 pieces are located around a circle with a diameter of 100 mm,
• The diameter of the hub, the value of which is 57.1 mm.

Variable parameters change on different versions of the car, they are set by the manufacturer and may have replacement options recommended according to the instructions for the car. These include:

• rim diameter in inches (denoted by R),
• rim width in inches,
• offset in mm – the distance from the mounting plane to the plane of symmetry of the disk (written after the letters ET).

The offset can be zero, negative or positive. It is calculated by the developer with such precision as to ensure the necessary stability and controllability of the vehicle, as well as minimal load on the hub bearings.

Parameters of standard nuts

The bolts that secure the discs are made of zinc-plated steel. They have standard dimensions of diameter M14, thread pitch 1.5 mm and a 19mm socket head in the form of a nut.

The length of the bolts can vary depending on the type of disc: for stamped discs it is 27 mm, while cast discs are secured with bolts 29 or 33 mm long.

When installing fasteners, tightening must be done in order of diagonally located bolts. The bolts should be tightened in several steps to avoid distortion. After installing the fasteners, caps are put on them to protect them from dirt and dust.

What bolts are suitable for Skoda Rapid

Our catalog contains wheel bolts for different types of wheels. When choosing, it is worth considering: products made of light alloys require longer fasteners than heavier stamped analogues. The wheels of this model have constant (thread diameter, number of holes, hub diameter) and variable (radius, width, offset) parameters, based on which you can easily select fasteners.

So, M14x1.50 bolts with the following characteristics are suitable for M wheels:

• The length of the threaded part depends on the disc offset: 24 – 50 mm and more.
• ​ thread diameter – M14;
• thread pitch – 1.5 mm;
• 60 degree cone;
• seat – sphere (R13, R14), cone (regular or adjustable +/- 1 mm);
• size for 17th and 19th key, 12 mm hexagon, 6- and 10-point star.

The original bolts installed at the factory in this model will fit both stamped and cast wheels. You can purchase standard products and options with security locks that will protect your new wheels from vandals. Available in the strongest steel with zinc, titanium and chrome plating.

When choosing bolts, make sure that the threads protrude 1.7 - 1.8 cm at the front and 0.9 - 1 cm at the rear of the disk. If you ignore this recommendation and the length of the protruding part on at least one side is longer, the thread will stick over time.

You can buy a set of bolts for alloy wheels for Skoda Rapid in our store. We offer a wide selection of mounts for cast wheels, among which every car owner will find a suitable option.

What kind of disks can be installed?

Wheel rims for modern cars are made of steel, aluminum and light alloys, used to improve strength and performance characteristics. Depending on the method of manufacturing wheels for cars, you can choose from three main options:

• Welded steel parts are stamped parts with high weight, low strength and, accordingly, low price. They are more susceptible to corrosion and deformation than others, but can be repaired. Dented rims can be straightened and returned to working order at a workshop.
• Light alloys are cast and forged, have high strength and anti-corrosion properties. Presented on the market with a variety of design solutions in a modern style. Cast ones do not bend under load, but immediately crack and cannot be repaired. Forged ones can withstand almost all impacts without deformation. The cost of cast and forged wheels is significantly higher than welded ones.

The manufacturer produces several models of stylish alloy wheels of different sizes for its Skoda cars. Below, as an example, a number of names and their designations are presented.

When choosing, you should adhere to the parameters set by the Skoda factory. But any driver can decide to install non-standard wheels. Only for this you need to follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

The third generation Skoda Octavia A7 differs from the second generation only in the width and offset of the alloy or cast wheel components. From the factory, models are equipped with sizes of 15 inches, 16 inches, and so, the data for the radius is 6.

The bolts used in the A7 have a standard size for most representatives of the Czech automaker - M14 by 1.5. The choice of original cast elements for Skoda Octavia A7 models, including A7 Tour models, deserves special attention.

Thus, customers, depending on the chosen A7 configuration or as an additional option, are given the opportunity to choose products of various styles.

Types such as Minoris, Denom, Ilias, Gemini, which have a standard bolt pattern, are installed as original cast elements on the Skoda Octavia A7 model, including the Tour model. Among those listed, it is worth highlighting the Denom and Gemini models, which are also suitable for the A5 model, and the most popular for A7 models is the th size.

The Denom casts are designed for a standard bolt pattern and are size 7.

On the Denom type, as well as on the Minoris, Ilias and Gemini, the manufacturer provides for the possibility of installing anti-slip chains when operating the car in the winter season. Based on the results of various tests, the Denom model has demonstrated its best performance and, with good reason, is in high demand among owners of Skoda Octavia A7 cars.

I asked Skoda a question regarding the sizes of wheels for the 1st radius: Hello, I have a Skoda Octavia A7. Please tell me the possible values ​​of the permissible parameters of alloy wheels with a 16″ radius.

Dear Mikhail, good afternoon. We are glad that you are a client of our brand, and, having carefully studied your application received on the Hot Line, we can respond with the following: Below are all the recommended combinations of wheel rims and tires of the sixteenth parameter for the car?

When calculating the recommended wheel size, the manufacturer takes into account all its technical data: That is why, set the recommended size and thereby you will ensure maximum safety and comfort for yourself and your companions.

We also ask you to note that in the event of various malfunctions associated with the installation of non-recommended wheel parameters, if a cause-and-effect relationship is established, there may be restrictions on warranty repairs.

However, with the parameters they indicated, I was unable to find anything interesting except a replica, a couple of models.

Maximum and minimum acceptable sizes of non-standard disks

Before purchasing non-original wheels for Skoda, you must first select wheels according to the method of their manufacture: forged, cast or stamped. Next, based on the type of engine and year of manufacture of the car, make a selection of disks using the table, which presents Skoda sizes and their analogues. Below is an example of existing proposals.

According to the manufacturer's conditions, installing unspecified wheels on a Skoda vehicle will void the warranty on its chassis.

The main parameter when choosing wheels for a Skoda Rapid is the bolt pattern, which must strictly correspond to that set by the car developer.

It is 5x100 mm for all wheel modifications. Based on this indicator, other disk parameters are selected. The developer recommended minimum and maximum variable sizes.

Variable indicators must correspond to those specified for Scoda Rapid and have the following values:

• disc diameter from 14 to 17 inches,
• width from 5 to 7 inches,
• Reach from 30 to 38 mm.

It is these parameters that guarantee driving safety and the quality of car components.

Basic disk dimensions: where to look and how to determine

Before we present information on the wheel bolt pattern inherent in cars of certain models, let’s understand their dimensions in general. After all, in order to purchase wheels, you need to know their exact parameters, or at least tell the seller the main characteristics of the car: year of manufacture, engine modification, and sometimes the body.

In the store they will select everything as it should be, but if you are going to buy wheels secondhand, you should know where the size is indicated on the rims. True, some parameters need to be measured independently.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

• On what roads will the car be primarily used?
• Do you need increased cross-country ability?
• How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
• Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for Skoda Rapid 2022?

3 types of rims:

• Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
• Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
• Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

What is the tire pressure?

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:

• deterioration of management;
• uneven tread wear.

Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:

• increased fuel consumption;
• rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
• the car becomes less maneuverable.

An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.

Attention! Our catalog is an information resource and does not guarantee full compliance of the proposed dimensions with your car. Make sure that your car has wheels of the appropriate radius.

Choosing tires and wheels for cars such as the latest Skoda Rapid, namely 2020-2021. First of all, you should take into account the requirements for sizes and modifications of chassis elements specified in the regulatory documents of the manufacturer's regulations.

However, in addition to this, when choosing shoes (for example, when tuning the Skoda Rapid chassis), several important points should be taken into account regarding the conditions of Russian vehicle operation, namely:

1. What road surfaces will the car drive on?
2. Is there a need for an all-terrain vehicle?
3. What is the ratio of city and unpaved roads where the car will be used?
4. Will the machine be used to transport heavy loads or using a trailer?
5. What is the ratio of winter and summer periods throughout the year in order to have both winter and summer sets of tires available?

As for background information regarding the general parameters of the Skoda Rapid 2 chassis elements, the tires should have the following dimensions:

• 14-17 inches are the tire diameter ranges;
• 175-215 mm – dimensions of the width of the slopes;
• 0.20-0.23 MPa – nominal pressure;
• 40-70% – percentage ratio on profile tires.

Regarding wheel rims, this is:

• the same 14-17 inches – diameter dimensions;
• from 5 to 7 inches is the width of the rims;
• 35-45 mm is the range of wheel rim offset;
• 5 holes at 100 – these are the bolt pattern parameters for the disc fastenings to the hub;
• 57.1 mm is the diameter of the central hole on the disk for the cap protecting the hub bearing lock nut.
