You can do it no problem. Most, if not all, non-turbo 5-lug FCs came with 15" rims stock. Running them 10" wide will be a bit harder though. Select your offsets wisely, and check out the FC wheel fitment thread in the suspension section.

Whoops, forgot to mention that the brakes on TIIs are the same as the ones on the above mentioned 5-lug n/a's. It'll be fine.

(well, some 5-lug S5 n/a's have wacky brake setups, but that doesn't matter to your question)

For the record, stock wheel sizes are in the FAQ.
