What to do with these wheels? Lorinsers rs90

I got a set of chrome 16x8 lorinser rs90 wheels in ok condition but their 32mm offset and i don't know if the fit my 300e? I already got a good set of rims but these are just now in the back yard.

I think it's the 8 in width thats gonna hurt ya! I believe 71/2 is a wide as you can go without rubbing something!

You can fit 8" wide wheels with no problems. You'll just have to do the proper modifications to prevent it from rubbing. Many people have 8" wide wheels on their cars in this forum and done it successfully. Take Ben (cali320) for example.

I'd just throw on some decent tires and save them as a "back-up" set. You never know when you'll need a good set of tires not to mention a good set mounted on some nice wheels.
