They are tight but you can still fit all 5 into one, if you want to make it a little easier, ream the hole just a bit but not too much were you weaken the retainer

They fit just fine on mine.
They should fit just fine. I just put a set on last weekend on a customer's car.

Your clips look different than mine. They are clamped on mine so the plastic goes around the bundle.

So I did some measurements with my caliper:
plastic clip on my 99 GTS: 0.280-0.312" (varied within one clip)
stock wires: 0.250-0.310" (depends on how hard I pinched the wires with my calipers)
AB wires: 0.310-0.340" (ditto)
What I ended up doing was drilling them out a little larger. I broke one so then I started using a file to open them up a little bit. Works OK now.
Thanks,
Alex

Apun,
The blue clamp holder, to the left, in the picture is aftermarket; the black wire holder on the right is the stock wire holder.

Use the Gen3 clips.
Hi Don,
Yeah, my stock wire holder does not look like the black one in that picture. On mine, I have to stick a little screwdriver to unhook it and then it folds open so I can put 2 wires on one side and 3 wires on the other side. The black one in the picture looks like you can just push the wires into the holder.
Thanks,
Alex
That's what I have, and ab's wires didn't fit in mine either. It wasn't even CLOSE to fitting!
