Winter Wheels for Golf MK7R

[ayman82]

What wheels can I use as winters for 'my' and golf R? Would it just be any 18" 5x112? Would it be possible to drop down to 17s or 16s for comfort?
I'm not sure if it's worth it yet, but wanted to get some opinions.

Just any 17s? I know I need to clear the brakes at the front, which is my main concern.
