With the alloys you have posted in 'pics of your Mk4' I would go for 20mm rear and 10 or 15mm front.
Then it will sit alot better.
1.6-1.8t AGU K03s, Forge actuator, Forge 007p, turbo back exhuast, Ths front mount, Catch can, 5 piece silicone boost pipes and creation sports tip. Stage 2 atm 232bhp 270lbs. Waiting for custom mapping :-)

Make sure you get some longer bolts to go with your adaptors or get some hubcentric ones that bolt to your hub. Google will show you what I mean if you don't already know  :smiley:
