10mm spacer would move the wheel away from the caliper, god only knows why you still having clearance issues.

Did the wheels come of another Golf.

If they are that close to the caliper then maybe you need a 15mm spacer and longer bolts, all seems very odd.

I ran 17" with et35 all ok.

You will need longer bolts plus get hubcentric spacers.
