Good find Daz 
He got the tyre size correct. The GTI comes with 225/35/19 not 235.
You are right, but it does come with both. The Brescia alloys are 225 and the Santiago alloys are 235.
Unless the configurator is wrong again 
Unfortunately the configurator (in the UK at least) is one of the least reliable sources of facts.
Santiagos are 7.5x19 and wear 225's.
In early VW UK ClubSport literature the Brescias were touted as being 8" wide and wearing 235's so that too was wrong.
Possibly the Worthersee show ClubSport in 2015 may have been wearing different spec pre production 19" wheels and tyres for show purposes (look more beefy on static display) but alas VW UK didn't check their facts before printing.
Maybe VW UK should employ us to check stuff instead of marketing guys and girls who clearly have little interest in what they're promoting.
