New wheels for my b5 a4

I'm having trouble making sure that this rim will fit.

First of all, should I get +20mm or +35mm offset? Also, I know the lug pattern is 5x112, which really limits me.

Basically, would this rim fit my ride? I don't want my tire tread to rub and I don't want any poke. I'm not looking for that "hella flush" look that ricers go for, I just want some nice rims, going for sporty luxury i guess. What do you guys think?

Here are the specific wheels i'm trying to buy:

I originally posted this on another thread in the b5 section of the forums, so i copy/pasted it here into it's own thread. In case you're wondering the original thread can be found here:
