I got offered a set of new tyres in alloys, but I'm not sure they will fit.

Would 6.5jx17h2 ET39 with 205/50 r17 tyres fit a superb 2012?

What’s your current wheel and tyre sizes?

The Superb MK2 needs 5/112 57.1 rims.

Are these new rims 6.5Jx17 ET39 5/100 57.1?

If so, 5/100 is incorrect and won't fit because you won't physically be able to insert the wheel bolts...due to the holes in the rims being in the wrong place.

Do the 205/50R17 tyres have a load index of 89(580kg) or 93(650kg)? If only 89(580kg) they probably won't be able to support the maximum axle weight of the Superb MK2. The Superb MK2 usually needs tyres with a load index of at least 91(615kg) or 92(630kg)...depending on model.

The Superb MK2 normally uses rims with an offset between ET45 and ET50...so ET39 is 6mm outside of this range.

205/55R16 is a much cheaper (and more comfortable) tyre size than 205/50R17, so it might be better to look at this tyre size (with suitable rims) instead of 205/50R17.

The Superb MK2 3.6 V6 needs at least 17" rims to clear the front brake calipers, but all other models can use 16" rims.
