I too was looking at a set of wheels with a 35mm offset. I was told that they would not fit by several wheel shops. The consensus seems to be that the Mk5 will fit a wheel with an offset of 42-55mm. You could probably still use those wheels if you used spacers though. You would just have to make sure they would fit over the brakes.
Let us know how it turns out.
