From memory they factory wheel was p38 or p41. so you will be pushing to fit the p46 unless it's a very curved face wheel.

you can always space them, but like Glidn says 46 might foul the calipers if it's not the right shape.

yes 2012 GTi wheels still 5x100mm

Those wheels are about as flat as a wheel can get, you will require a minimum 10mm spacer for front and that might still be pushing it.
Recommend minimum 15mm spacer or better 20-25mm spacer.
