I run a set of CLASSIX 17" wheels on my 2015 Golf S and like the looks. Also like the better tires for summer driving.
...but I do sometimes get the urge to take a few corners fast or go for curvy road trips.
I guess my questions are; will the 17in noticeably improve handling? will the speedometer change? gas mileage/brakes/will there be mechanical headaches that i will then need to buy more hardware to compensate and so on?
I realize sadly you didn't get what I wrote.And a 235/45 summer tire will out perform all of them, so yes, size matters when its apples to apples to a point.
I went from the 16 to 18 inches on my '17 Golf TSi. Below is the before/after pics.
The 18 wheels are oem preston wheels, purchased used from '15 golf tdi wagon., all 4 wheels and tires for 600$
I think the tires are 225/45/R18., the ride is little harsh than before, but the looks are good.
Did not see any difference in speed, since the overall diameter is still the same. Also had no issues with fitment, inner or outer wheels rubbing the fender/wheel wells or any problem with the caliper clearance.

It's at stock height., the wheels are oem preston wheels.Is this stock suspension or lowered?
Go 19"!
What kind of rims are these? They look great.
