The 215/55R17 tyres on the Superb MK3 are fitted to either 6.5Jx17 ET41 or 7Jx17 ET40 rims.

 

ET54 is too much offset.

 

225/45R17 is an Octavia MK3 tyre size. Compared to the 215/55R17 tyre size, the outside diameter of 225/45R17 is 5.1% too small for the Superb MK3 as shown in the chart below.

 

Outside diameter of tyre

215/55R17 668.3mm

225/45R17 634.3mm (-5.1%)

cheers for that information it was just what i was looking for
