OEM offset is et33. Closest offset I could find was et35 and even those were rare in this wheel (1 set in the UK!). The width went down to 8J from 9J. The original Omanyt 19x9 wheels already sat too far inside the arch for my liking and had I kept those on I would have still added 10-15mm spacers all round, so 20mm spacers with the new wheels made sense. They fit yes but I like the flush look.

Masev, are your original Golf R wheels ET35ish, or something else? Just curious...

OEM Golf R wheels should be ET 50
Volkswagen Fan
team_v is spot on, ET50 - So that basically means the wheels will be sitting 15mm in from the guards (based on ET35 being flush)...right?

Yes they'll sit 15mm further in BUT if your OEM wheels are 19x9 then you also lose 25mm in width, divide that by 2 and your Golf R wheels will sit 15+12.5 = 37.5mm. Even with ridiculously big 25mm spacers they will still sit too far in and look tiny when fitted.
Ideally you're better off searching for a wheel with et35. I was lucky enough to find the last set in the UK. There may be more out there somewhere, or on a ship ready for delivery but they are RARE.

Does anyone know if these wheels are available in Australia and what size they are? I found it on a site and they called it a Track or Avenue

They look like 19" x 9" Savannahs.
Can't get the originals here from VGA!
Although had been featured on the website for like 2-3 years as "coming soon".
It's possible to get replicas of these though.
Otherwise, be prepared to pay more than what they're worth (imo) sourcing it overseas.
Go to post #128 of this thread if you want to see some photos of real ones fitted.

They do look absolutely trick!But my dealer quoted me $10K on a set of 4x 19" Savannahs! So I'm sticking with 18" New Yorks for $1200 (at time of ordering)
