I also would recommend test fitting the wheels before breaking your back on them unless they were already on a 1 to make sure the offsets work as these cars are known to be picky
I have a line on a acid cleaner that shouldn't harm the finish, but melt the residue away. At this point iv resorted to a toothbrush with a light abrasive toothpaste for the really hard stuff and a magic eraser for the barrel/spokes.

Wheels are 17x8 et 40, so I foresee no issues, if I do run into anything, adding camber/rolling a fender isn't a deal breaker for me. Heh 519 E82, that makes two of us!
