Don't know what you would define as correct. Something like ET27 should clear the suspension platform on the back and the brakes upfront, though you might still need spacers.

Thats based on 6" wide VAG wheels having an ET of 38 (say P slots), and those being able to clear the platform. So with 7" wide wheels you need the offset to be a lower number so the hub will make the wheel stick out further so as to clear obstructions.

I'm sure someone running them will fill you in better. Maybe PM Concept-e on Porka?
