I would do 8.5. They will be fine as far as fitment. It's more about the tire size and 235/40 won't rub.
You mentioned Golf. Are you lowered? If not and you don't plan to, I would definitely go 245/40 to fill in the gap more.
Finally, VMR are hubcentric, so you won't have to use hub rings like with the Enkei. That being said, I haven't had any issues using hub rings other than tire shop losing one during a rotation one time. So now I keep extras in the car.
Finally, for white, go gunmetal or bronze.
