MK4 Facelift rim and tire sizing with Akebono

[Wicked]

Hello!

I am getting my facelift Leon ST VZ (333hp) with the akebono brakes soon. The dealer says 18" is impossible with the Akebonos, and that I have only these options:

235/35 R19 on 8Jx19 ET49 (summer)
225/35 R19 on 7.5Jx19 ET46 (winter)

The manual says nothing about tires/rims, except that snow chain can only be used on 245/40 R19 which makes no sense to be honest...

Does anybody have a 18" with Akebono brake? What do you use during winter?

I don’t think anything more than an et43 will clear the akebono.
I think the originals are either et40 or et43.
I have just brought these off an Audi Q5. They are an et39 and need a spigot ring in the middle as the centre bore is a bit bigger than ours
