If those are for your 300 I would Not install them.. The extra resistance provided via the R in your plug will exceed MB's recommended level which according to them can cause damage to your ignition componentry. Never mind that your spark output will be diminished.
Also, I typically take them a bit fatter..unless your car is burning some oil then tighter is the way to go and .32 should be fine.
