Will 17x7.5 on both front and rear fit with 42mm offset and 5.90'' backspace?
They'll fit, but will be sunk in.

Will 18 x 9.5 + 35 all the way around fit? If so, what tires out front and what tires out back? Not looking for super stretched and willing to roll. Sorry for my numerous questions on this topic
Yes. 265/35 or 275/35 all around. A good roll will be needed up front.

With high confidence, I could say that if everyone searched this thread by using the "search thread," the answers will be found. As I mentioned, the same questions have been asked multiple times. The majority of MK3 owners run common wheel/tire setup.
To see if a wheel will fit, may I suggest starting out by:
1. Find out how much gap you have in your current setup by finding the distance between your current wheels and the innermost portion of the fender lip.
2 use this calculator
http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp. plug in the specs of your current and future setup to find out if your future setup will fit.
3. If u find out your future wheels don't fit, u could either roll your fenders or go with a different wheels setup, then repeat step 2.
FYI, here's a page that has good reference and tools:
