Smallest tire size with performance pack.

It is a question of testing when fitting.
18"is possible but is totally depending of the manufacturer.
You always could mount wheelspacers to get the necessary clearance but I would suggest that only when the ET value is 50. Other thing that could work is go to ET45 that gives you 5 mm extra clearance which could be just enough for most 18" rims.

A lot of 19" won't fit and 18" is harder again.

The OZ Ultraleggera 8x18 ET45 and MAM RS2 18 from that thread fit with just a few mm to spare. Balancing weights need to be glued in the middle of the rim barrel to not to interfere with the calipers. Looking forward to learn about more 18" choices.

There must be someone here that actually HAS the performance pack WITH winter tyres, so...waiting for an answer that's not a guess...
Beg your pardon, the above two models quoted (both 18x8 et45) are no guesses, one has 245/40 summer tyres mounted and the other has 225/40 winters. Can't repost their pics but they are towards the end of that german thread. The 225/40 or 235/40R18 winter tyres on those will most definitely fit. The moved wheel weights are unavoidable if you want 18" rims to fit over the huge PP calipers.
Roughly as I'm in Sweden, you should be able to procure them at £1700-2000 with Michelin PS4 (that's what I'm getting). OZ isn't cheap but well renowned for quality. These are 8,8kg.
They look very nice but I prioritise dynamics. This is my third set of OZ - of many more lighter/smaller wheel sets, on varying cars and I always have preferred how the cars drive with those. I have several sources that say the same for the Cupra (Pistonheads, Dale Lomas, Wales motoring something, and two forum owners), so....
Luckily most people prioritise looks so I hope to get a descent price for the top spec wheels.
With performance pack you get the Brembo logo on the from calipers but what about the rear ones? Does it still say "Cupra" on them?
