Not specifically off the top of my head - here are a few from earlier in the thread, albeit at 18 x 9.5 ET40 and 19 x 9.5 ET40 so close enough:







No doubt something that extreme will require a fair bit of work with dubious legality.. although there are wide body kits for the rear of the Golf which might help with such a project - not for the in-experienced in any case!

Is this running a lift kit or am I so used to looking at cars running lowered springs that this looks a bit high?

As I'm getting excited about picking up my LSG R this coming week, I have been looking into potential wheels. After I bit of searching, I have found the ones I want. I think they will be quite expensive though, I'm going to get a quote from Volkspower in Burwood (VIC) and see if it's a viable option, here they are; (please excuse the YouTube images as I wanted to find the wheel on the colour I'm getting)
*Also note I'll have the sunroof which will black out a section of the roof which will make the wheels look even better.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

I suspect the latter - the problem of adding after market wheels on a base or lower end model minus any lowering at all. I'm not sure if the USA still has different heights on the Mk7 but I'm sure I recall on previous models they did run a higher level for some reason which may exaggerate the problem.
