They may well be... if they look anything like these.

Yes, they fit. These wheels (Ronal/SAAB 15\") had been mounted on a MkI I\'d just bought and I used them for the 1200+ miles round trip with my Mk2 Estate to the National 

They are very inward looking (?), that means they narrow the track and leave very little space to the front dampers. On full lock it sometimes felt as if the tyre touched the body but we had no visual proof of this. One certainly needs spacers to let them run and look properly. HTH, Thorsten

Chris Witor had some wheel spacers for sale at the National !
They may do the job.
