Default spark plug wires, fits or not

ok i have a slight misfire problem and my mechanic decided that we should change the spark plug wires. i was looking at high performance stuff and i come up to the magnacor 8.5 mm race wires, i was lookin at other posts and some people say they are not perfect fit some say they will fit.

i need to know that if they will fit my car or not, i have 1997 m44 engine just to let u know
