I've run the same wheels on a Focus as my '90 SPG, so I know that's a go. The Focus has a slightly smaller hub, however - 1mm smaller IIRC. Conversely, I run Saab Aero wheels on my XR4Ti, which uses Focus/Contour wheels readily.
FWIW, I ran 5mm spacers on the read of my '86 900S with no ill effects, my Alfa had 3mm spacers on the front with no ill effects. As long as they aren't thick enough to prevent the wheel from centering on the hub or the lug from adequately threading into the hub, you shouldn't have a problem. Most modern wheels in the 4x108 pattern are available in a +40mm or +42mm offset. With a 5mm spacer, you should have no problems on a 7" wide wheel. Just keep in mind the wider fender flares on the '88+ SPGs may cause rubbing issues...
