Alloys for 2011 Maxi

I have just got a 2011 Caddy Maxi (ex-BG), that has steel wheels fitted, which are battered.
I traded in my 2006 Skoda Octavia Estate but I still have the original alloys for it, which I would like to use on the Caddy if I can.
The label in the Caddy drivers side doorway says 6J x 16 (I don't have a user manual for the van) and the Skoda Alloys are 6.5J x 16 PCD 5 x 112.

Do any of you know if these will fit?

Should fit the 5x112 is the bolt pattern and the 6j is the width of alloy, think you can go up to 8/8.5j without the sliding door catching

What is the offset of the Skoda alloys?
There should be specs cast into the rear of one of the spokes that reads "ET**"
The ** denotes the offset and that is more important than the width of the alloy.

I am not sure, I will see if I can find it in the morning.

The spec sheet for the Skoda says ET50 and the alloys were genuine Skoda Octavia alloys, so I assume they would have been to spec.

Morning mate the et would need to be between et47 to et54 to be sure I'm running Audi A-line 19inch alloys on my maxi hope this helps

There's quite a good wheel and tire calculator here, and there's quite a lot of room in the caddy arches for bigger wheels, as others have said.

Thanks guys, very helpful

I need to get my Skoda alloys refurbished now, some of them are not holding air because the paint is flaking in places.

A good rule of thumb with offset (the ET figure) is to stay with in +/- 5 of the original value. If I remember rightly, the standard 15” steels are ET47, so as low as 42 or as high as 52.

When changing to alloys are you using standard wheel bolts?
Cheers

Ideally get proper alloy wheel bolts, the part of the bolt under the head which contacts the wheel is a different shape from the steel wheel bolts. Those are domed and the alloy ones aren't from memory. Could bind up or not seat properly.
