The larger engined California’s, 180/204/199 always come with larger front Disc Brakes and a minimum 17” wheels.
The smaller engined models could have 16” or as an upgrade 17” wheels + the larger front brakes.
VW also offer 18” wheels as an option, but not with the 5th Spare wheel, just a “ gunk” kit instead.
So those 18” Sport Line wheels, size wise will fit your vehicle, but you’ll have to check off set, bolt pattern and load rating.
I gather there are a lot of “ non-VW “ copies around.

Ive just swopped my 17 inch wheels back to the standard 16 inch the van came with and still loads of tread, and have noticed that even with those the ride is softer.. I think personally the lower the tyre profile the harder the ride. I had some 20 inch on a Merc and could feel every bump in the road.

Hi Steve and Mary, sorry for not responding sooner, we are in the Lake District and very poor WiFi. I ended up with CrossClimates 235/55/18 as I was able to get the four for just under £400 whereas the 255/45/18 were about £700. Ride feels much the same as the 17” rims. Kind regards Nick

Hey Nick, I wonder if you might be able to tell me where you got your tyres so cheap? Thanks, Andy

Sorry Andy, have been away in the van for a couple of weeks and only just logged back on to the forum. I brought them at the end of May from Camskill. I think there was an offer on at the time.
