Can I use these on the SE?
Appreciate any advice.

I'm your neighbor (sort of) in Oregon, IL, about 100 miles due west of chi-town, and I have an 89 300se as my daily driver. Works fine in the winter, starts every day, even when the temp is well below zero. I've never felt the need for anything other than good all-season tires. 195 65 15's are a little small, 205 65 15's are the correct size, but they should work OK if the offset on the wheels is correct. W124 wheels won't work as you probably already know.
