Lots of misinformation here.

There are at least three companies I know of that make those adapters. The real question though is, what wheels are they? If they're stock wheels or pretty cheap ones, you can do better than spending 300 on adapters...

The other main issue is adapters are going to push the wheels out another 20mm at least so you're more than likely going to have offset issues...
x2. i have at least 7+ different places to get them from. but, as ryan said, the real problem lies in the fact that your fighting the offsets. the avg. smallest adapter most companies will make is 20mm. MK4's and passats roughly share the same offsets. an offset of 30 (with a 8.5 wheel) sits right about flush with the front fender, while, most of the time, the rear is 10mm less (so a 8.5" @ et20 would be right about flush with the qtr).

so, for instance, if those abt's have an offset of 30, adding the 20mm adapters would then drop you down to a final offset of et10.

but, in order to correctly answer your question, you need to get more complete info. most importanly, the wheel widths and the offset (aka ET). untill then, it's all guess work.

Yes the Huffs fit. 1meanb5 (I think that is his name...but the dude from Hawaii) is running those. The MK5 VW's have 5x112 bolt patterns but run a 50-55MM offset. For a B5 it isnt as bad, since they have a 45MM offset. For the B5.5 you will most definately need spacers, at a minimum 15MM.
