I believe 7.5 j is a flush look with stretched tyres on the rear... I've got standards with 25mm spacers and mine catch like mad on the rear bumper mounts, adjusters out.

Fronts i've no idea, nowhere near 8J without a LOT of arch work though

I'd say 8j et10 out back will give you a nice amount of poke without being ridiculous, i'm 8j et12 and it looks spot on :), fronts go with 7.5j.

You are going to need a slight stretch as well if you're wondering. 195/45's or 185/45's would be best :)

Don't gti's have wider arches?
