No.

For comparison, these are:

See the raised rim around the center. That aligns the wheel to the spacer.

It looks like your spacers will align with and are compatible with your stock hubcentric hubs. But there is no hub centric alignment rim on your spacer to assure alignment between your wheels and the spacer.

That make sense?

I know it's not the answer you were looking for.

Negative.

Don't use those or you will have vibration issues.

A lot of these spacers are hubcentric to the car then the wheels will jsut rely on the studs on the spacer to preoperly align them.

If they won't take them back I would say to mount them up and at least try them before taking a loss on selling them...

those are hub centric, but now your wheels will be lug centric, all you have to do is make sure you have tappered lug nuts and make sure you tighten in a star pattern and dont use an impact, you will NOT have any vibration issues, my mm 1/4" spacers are like that in the front, the ones that cause a problem are th autozone ones that are universal and just slide in there whthere there chevy 5 lug or ford five lug...trust me i used those when i did my cobra bakes and felt out of balance them i got the mm ones (which look like urs) and followed the directions and tadda no vibs!!!!!!

True, why not?
I've just had friends who had them and sold them afterwards claiming vibration issues. So I really don't have the exp first hand. I have a pair of MM ones that I just haven't put on yet.
I have el cheapo MR Gasket 7/16" spacers on the front which are universal and surprisingly enough, I have absolutely no vibration issues at all.

So try them on and see what happens. They may look so nice that you won't even care if they cause any vibrations.

You can have a fair amount of vibration on the rear wheels before it'll make itself noticable, so perhaps they'll work fine if you get the wheels close enough to centered.
