can't say I've seen steels with 185s on but if they're for a 360 then yes, they'll fit.

correct tyres for the 14" GLT rims are 185/60 not 65s, but they will fit just reduce clearance, increase gearing and reduce profile/road holding.

Old style 3 series BMW wheels are 5.5x14 and fit nicely, similar/same as Golf steels I think. Used them on my first 345, tyre place gave them for free from BMW drivers upgrading to alloys.
