The one caveat on this conversion is interior size. If you are installing something like a SA big brake kit, They are not likely going to fit in the resulting space created with your small 14" steel wheel tub even with a larger rim. I would be more inclined to have them re-weld a 1998-later Passat steel rim to the correct offset and width or use as is as JordanVW recommends.
