won't foul the arch lip as it will sit about half a mile inside the arch
Smaller number = bigger poke
Bigger number = more tuck

You could run spacers, I am guessing they are Scooby rims.

and if they are Subaru rims, the centre bore's not big enough

Plus the bolts holes need drilling out.

nope.
im from a jap backround and just seen this set of wedsport rims up near me i should be getting tommorow
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=147429.0
will look good sanded and polished up, not to bothered about the center bore as i can have them machined out if needs be, any reccomendations for a good set of cheap spacers? would 10-15mm do it as im thinking it might foul the calliper, that is assuming the offset relates to the wheel face and not the wheel lip

10 -15mm spacers would just about get you a stock ET
You'd need at least 20mm to make it look half decent
