Default RB5 wheels on a classic

Does anyone know if the standard Prodrive Speedline wheels off an RB5 fit all classics (namely a MY99)?

Thanks

unless of course the classic has enormous brakes that require 18" wheels

thx guys.
I did know it is a classic (hence the "fit all classics") but was unsure if the brakes/suspension were different. The standard tyres are different (205/45/17) to what I currently run (215/40/17) but I'm sure they both fit.

215/40/17 is the required profile for the 215 tyres. the 205 tyres require the 45 profile. so all is sweet. and the rb5 has standard brakes/hubs etc
