you're going to have a good amount of stretch, it'll be very tight. rears won't be a problem, but fronts might rub a little when turning full lock, but i dunno. golfmkv.com has tonnes of people running all sorts of crazy wheel set ups

Make sure to check the offset is right and within the spec. To give you some history about offset here is a brief explanation from 4wheel Online blog.
During the 1960s and 70s, American muscle cars had a unique offset, often referred to as a "deep dish" style. Different vehicles offer different wheel configurations, and as a car owner, it is often beneficial to make changes to suit your needs. When making alterations to a vehicle's wheels, there are a few things to take into consideration. Some of these include the wheel offset and the wheel lug pattern and measurement.
