Maybe. Personally I'd be OK with the tyre size increase (2.6% increase in circumference, 18mm taller overall, so the car will sit 9mm higher), but the question is the wheel width and offset. Both should be stamped on the inner side of the wheel spokes. Should be something like 18x8.5J (diameter x width) and ET40 (offset).

No doubts there, that's an easy fit.

Lovely colour, wish ours was Lava Blue. Also wish I could find a nice set of 18s for ours too, but in VAG OEM wheel land there seems to be nothing between 18x8 ET44 (Superb) and 18x8.5 ET29 (A5) which is a bit too aggressive.

Mk7/7.5 Golf R, non-OPF/GPF models.

I tried this on my 162TSI (220 for other markets) and noticed no difference at all. Never noticed any issue with throttle lag/responsiveness.

6 year old tyres are done, finished.

Are dealers likely to tell me truthfully whether my car has had a DSG service?

IMO the brakes look bigger with the aftermarket wheels because of the stepped barrel.

That looks amazing! I wish that colour was available in Australia 🤤

I think it'll be fine, just put chocks on the floor at the right point.

Still a lot of leather and a lot of sunrooves around in our cars here though! Entirely overrated, but what can you do.

Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5, Continental PremiumContact 6. Not here, elsewhere, and professional reviews.

As far as I can tell, 4.8s for the Golf R is using launch control, and 5.8s for the Superb is without launch control. Here's a comparison of a stock Superb using launch control to do a 5.3s 0-100, and remapped doing 4.5s -

Likely correct to some extent, but the PS4 is often criticised compared to its main Goodyear and Continental alternatives for not having stiff enough sidewalls, to the detriment of steering feel and turn-in response.
