that would be farther out, and fill the fenders. maybe too much, don't know.
I like the ASA AR1s.
They are "liscensed" by BBS.
I read up on that and apparently BBS helped set up the manufacturing process for this wheel maker, which is Korean I believe.
They should be pretty decent quality I would guess.
Ask on the tire/wheel forum, I'm sure the tirerack guy could tell you more about the quality.

50mm would bring the wheel in too far towards the brake caliper...
but I think stock wheels are 45mm offset.
35 is a good offset, imho, it sticks the wheels out far enough where they look more agressive.
It's amazing what 10mm will do for looks.

I was going to go with those wheels and decided on the Flik Artic's...
the Wasp's have the fake rivets like the AR1's, if you like that kind of thing.
The Flik's paint is average but so far it's held up well with no peeling or scratching due to road debris.
The Flik's are cheaper and also can be bundle'd with the Falken Azenis Rt615's which will handle better than the ST115's!

A smaller offset will push the wheels out towards the fenders, so I'd say you'll be okay since the
Jetta won't be lowered. If you lower it, then you could have rubbing issues. If the offset was larger then you'd run the risk of having the inside of the face of the wheel hitting the brake caliper.
I'm sure you'll be fine putting them on the Jetta.
