It doesn't matter how desparate you are, you can't fit something 9" wide into a gap too small for them.

do the barrels not hit the suspension being that wide and with that offset?
i'd be supprised if you could get the mounting face near the hub! i'd double check et mate.
have you thought about berg cup style arches?

had to have some work done on the arches and gave it a bit of camber and they sit flush now

he is a top bloke and loves his vws.
he rolled the arch lip at the top only (this helps keep the wings rigidity) and flared them out slightly and on the rear he cut the lip back and re welded it in some way that keeps it all smooth so if it does scrub, the tires dont get damaged. he did a really good job of them i think.
front track is wider on a mk1 so i gave them a slight camber to get them under properly.
i also run slightly stretched tires to keep the tread under the arch.
that is about it
