The rust has started coming on my classic rear arches
How do these fit?

A lot of cutting and welding, and those parts are only the beginning. It's the inside of the arch that causes the problem.

I got mine done and some additional welding on the top of the rear strut area. Well worth getting it done properly.

If your just looking to get the visible rust sorted, then you can get a body shop to cut out the rust and fill it or wield new piece in. But as has been said it normally goes deeper, so depends if your keeping the car for years to come or not.
