Can anyone help? I want to put 17 inch by 8 inch
wheels on my 1985, UK spec 200 quattro. It will also
be lowered by 30mm. Can both these modifications be
done?

Probably.

 What off-sets will I have to use - the current
ET45 is too narrow (maybe ET30 ???).

What do you mean too narrow?  In fact, to even have a possibility of
using 17x8 wheels, you will need MORE than ET45, such as ET55 for it to
work.
In the front, however, you will need an offset of no more than (and
possibly less than) ET45.
