they will fit fine mate. Out of interest, have you got photographs of the wheels?
Personally, i wont be going any more that an 18inch alloy but lots of people are starting to run the 19" x5 alloys and they are wide as hell!

i had 9x19's on my mk4 when i bought it, not sure what the et was but there was no contact with the coilovers, they didn't rub until i dropped the car lol, tyres were 235/35/19, i have a 4motion and although the 4 wheel drive system improves the handling it was a shocking car round corners, i have got rid of the 19's and am now running 18's with 215/40/18 tyres and the corners i was losing control on at 50 i can now do 80 round with just a bit of tyre squeal rather than full blown sideways slides
