Welcome to the forum.

What have they come off? Personally I think anything bigger than a 15 on a mk1 is wrong and not the best for a trouble free ride.  I'm on 15s and even I get rubbing if too low.  Personally I think you'll struggle without mods unless you intend to keep the ride height up.

As Shaun said by the time you factor in the adaptors the offset will be wrong and clearance very tight.

Have a look at:

http://blog.swdubs.co.uk/05/2011/mk1-wheel-size/

Shows all sizes on a mk1 including fitment examples of 15" RS's which looks bang on.
