|  ground clearance - wheel size Hello The 4x4 Octavia 105bhp is now available with 16" alloy wheels (steel spare?) from the factory. Does this increase the ride height by 1/2" or is does the tyre profile make it the same height as the standard 15" alloys? If the height is increased is the speedometer recalibrated or left the same as there is so little difference in circumference. Summary: If the ride height/ground clearence is not increased then I will stick tto the standard 15" wheels. Advice much appreciated "ruralrelic"  |

| Re: ground clearance - wheel size You'd need to find out what tyres they fit to it.

| Re: ground clearance - wheel size It won't increase the ride height. Too much hassle for skoda to do at the factory to have different tyre diameters.
