The critical bit is the ET number or offset...

You'll need to know this to work out the clearances, but I suspect you'll have a problem with the tyre hitting the rear of the arch at full lock...

if the tyre/arch do run close the offset bushes should help with this.

worked on a couple with 850Csi rims , both had offset and no rubbing issues even under hard cornering loads.
