Check if the rim has 2 sets of patterns drilled into it, the 2nd might fit.

some wheels come "double drilled" with two different patterns on one wheel, and in my experience 4x100, and 4x108 are comonly paired.
this means ther are 8 holes, 4 in a 100 pattern, and 4 in a 108 pattern, if these wheels also have a 108 patern, you should be able to use them, but check the offset as it may cause other problems.

Only way your gonna know is to swap one of these wheels onto the Contour.
Try removing one of these wheels, the offset is commonly stamped on the back side of the wheel. If its correct and lug holes line up, you can swap.
Report back with the offset and size wheel.

most likely going to be 4x100 and 4x114.3(?) I think thats the other common offset.
