With about 20mm should be able to?
Example
The standard offset is approx 35mm, a Porsche wheel has a higher offset of approx 55mm, therefore to fit Porsche wheels to your car and retain the factory VW offset you would require a 20mm spacer which will still retain an offset of 35mm. Increasing the spacer thickness allows you to space the wheel out further giving the car a more chunky wider stance.

You cannot say that!
Offset is dependant on wheel width, The spaces available for suspension arm clearance, any camber adjustments & arch clearance.
A different width alloy will have a different offset.
OEM offset is ET46 on a 7" wide rim.
First thing we need to know is how wide the alloys are & then if you are sticking with stock size tyres.
