Sweet wheels. I thought of doing the same thing a while ago. As far as you offset is concerned I don't know for sure what your fitment problems will be. I would try the offset calculator link in the forums. Hope this helps.

I can't find the link, but I remember reading a post about this on STF. Somebody on there had installed those rims on his Bug, I seem to remember he had a super narrowed beam to clear them, 6" or so with stock fenders. If you're willing to run wider fender you could pobalbly get away with a 2-3" beam. For the rear you could use a set of the narrowed rear arms shown in the tech section. Good Luck.

Why the narrowed beam?

The narrowed beam is used so the wheels won't hit the fenders or the suspension. If you narrow the beam you bring the spindles in toward the body. You then use wheel spacers to push the wheels back out to clear the suspension.
