I am pretty sure you can. It is even sometimes advised to change the oil filter only... so it will not drain the oil.

Only q7 and Touareg are 130.

Steel wheels would look crazy on it :D

For the 18" at 10" width - I would first ask what tire you are getting and if you modified suspension.

It is not an easy answer as it may run inside or outside... or both. :(

Other lights - yes. I agree.
