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

From here:
https://www.seat-leon.de/vboard/showthread.php?t=107928

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.

Do you think I can use any 8x18 ET45 rim? ET50 better fit?

ok but the performance wheels are ET50 so why not the same on 18 inch?
If you can find a wheel that clears the brakes with the spokes and ET50, than no problem. But the performance wheel is special, it's the only wheel that clears at et50 I know about.
The regular 19" cupra rim won't fit either despite not being very deep.

Here you go.

Weights must be set in the middle of the barrel to clear the caliper.
Thanks for the useful information. Just searched this up while I'm waiting for my car to be delivered. 235/40 18" all-seasons are waiting at the dealers ready to go on my ET45 wheels (currently on my Ateca) so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. The 19s will go back on next spring and if the winter's anything like the last one, I'll be using my Nokian-shod quattro.
