1980 wheels on a 3rd gen

I looked through the threads and couldn't find an answer. Will 1980 15" wheels fit on a 92 rs? I can get a good deal on them but want to know if they fit without modification 1st. TIA

Most of the '80 wheels were only 7"-width. Only WS6 'birds got 8s, there's no good reason to run 7s. The WS6 8s fit fine.
