Just an example:

Just a note, they are 1.25" thick 32mm.

You mean 30mm haha

With the 32mm spacer and those rims you'd be looking at negative offsets, which is EXTREMELY aggressive for the TL.

You're better off finding a similar rim that fits the car from the start.

It all depends, do a little more research on offsets. The closer you get to 0 the more the wheels will poke and the more fender work you have to do.

I honestly don't think you have a clue what you're getting yourself into.

It's a lot of work Alex, that's why I suggested getting rims that fit right off the bat.

Link us the rims you're looking at.

Ahh, yes, that would be a problem

Either run the crazy specs on those rims and deal with a shit ton of work or find a similar aftermarket style.

A TL with wheels that have AMG stamped on them is going to be weird

They are good looking wheels though.
