STOP, check the ET, the Corrodo wheels are 40 or 42 mm offeset as
opposed to the Scirocco's 38mm.  Confirm this by looking at the rims
ET.  This will move the wheel to the 'inside' of the car which is 1)
worse for your handling, 2) will probably rub your strut assembly.

With a 15" which is most likly 7" wide you would be best off with a
35/36mm offset.
