I think it may be on 18" wheels hence the big gap. Would look better on 19" wheels.
as widgit said above, the 19" are indeed bigger but you run 35 profile tyres on them instead of the 40 profiles on the 18" so same overall diameter.
I will lower mine on lowering spring as soon as they are available or confirmed to be the same ones as a standard rocco. (Or some KW coilovers if the ACC isnt any good)

its an illusion, if you have larger rims it looks like they take up more space but as you say anankin they have low profile tyres so actually don't.

The Black R does look amazing!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting tte pics. You would have thought that UK VW could have organised at least a tour of VW dealerships with the R to let people see it for real.

I think black will look better in the flesh, hard to see its lines with all the shiny reflections in the show room.
