Not many 18s will clear the TT-RS brakes due to barrel design aside from spoke clearence so you would have to test fit them to see.

How I can check the clearance ? Is there any sample to print ?

Nope. Just had the same issue. The only thing you can do is make a mock up of the caliper/hub in cardboard and see how it fits. I just removed my TTRS brakes because I wanted to go with 17" summer/16" winter setup and there was no way that was fitting. When I bought the car it had the TTRS brakes and 18" wheels. Can't remember the brand, but I will let you know when I get a chance to look at them again. Will be selling all of it soon.

Nope probably not. I just barley got a set of ch's on and they are 18x8.5 et 35. You'll need a spacer

Another option I thought about was downsizing the rotor. There's a company in Europe that makes a caliper carrier that will fit the golf r/Tts rotor which is 345mm I believe. As a bonus those rotors are much cheaper to replace and have way more aftermarket options.

so as i can understand the clearance of 18-19" wheels, same model and et size, is not identical. I read in golfvigti.com german forum than i need a 6mm spacer, does is a good idea or i will have vibrations? If i will repaint calipers, is caliper grinde a bad solution?

A spacer shouldn't give you any problems. Just be careful if you are lowered a lot. I'm on dg and get no rub but if I was any lower it certainly would be a problem. And I guess you could grind the caliper down a bit but not something I'd want to do.
