Don't remember the size off top of head, but most likely they are 16", 17" MAX.
They made both a 16" and a 17", the 17 was put on a 500 sport edition IIRC and only for a year or two and it's fairly rare. The 16 was the base wheel for several years of the 211.

OP, the real key is not the offset (if it were wrong, you'd know because it would be rubbing) but the lug bolt.

Your chassis uses the 12M bolts with a 12R ball seat, and those wheels were designed for a 14M bolt with the 14R ball seat. Often people just mount them with a shorter bolt (the facing is much thinner on the modern wheels) which is unsafe.

If they have the wrong bolts, you can order the correct ones from otisinla.com, you'd need R14x12Mx1.5x26mm IIRC.

Good luck.
