5mm in the rear. I'm thinking of going 10mm in rear and 5mm in the front because I think there is room for it but haven't decided on it yet.

Guys I am driving 2016 Golf 7 Estate 1.4 TSI 125 PS with all season tyres (205/55 R16) in Linas alloy. But I am not happy with the tyre noise and grip on wet roads as well as I am not a fan of Linas alloy. So I am planning to buy a new set of alloy and summer tyres. I will mount the winter tyres on the Linas alloy.
I don't know much about tyre upgrade size, tyre & alloy brands. So please guide me.
Please give your suggestions.

Alloys: I would like to buy sporty black alloys. Which light weight alloy do you guys recommend? and 17" or 18"?
- Wheels: What is correct 17" or 18" wheel size to upgrade from 205/55 R16 for my Golf? Which summer tyre do you recommend with good grip, less road noise, good FE and long life duration (since I will switch to winter tyres during winter)?
Please give your suggestions.

Update: been a year on these wheels and I have really put them through their paces. Taken some big hits and took them like a champ. The finish is also impeccable, they seem to have some sort of coating on them that makes them super easy to clean, they also hide brake dust really well.
My normal drive height.
I'm stuck between these or Volk TE-37 SL for my next wheels. IDK how 18x9 +45 would be on the track vs 8.5 +45
