I'd like to replace the bridge saddles on my 2002 57 reissue with the style that is shown here:

But I don't know which model number of saddles or the spacing that I should get for the 57 RI bridge. Could someone please let me know?

Anything else could be an issue due to screw placement if you look carefully the powdercoated ones have the screw offset.
Not that it matters but you have posted this twice in the CS section but the avri is not CS
You will get more answers by posting in the right forum le stratocaster :D

If you're wanting block saddles instead of bent-steel saddles, th main issue is that all of Fender's block saddles are designed for modern narrow string spacing.

You can use Fender block saddles with centered intonation screws (not the offset intonation screws). But there will be gaps between the saddles. Some people believe those gaps uncouple the saddles and hurt the tone.

The gaps do make it likely that the saddles will shift side to side, especially with trem use.
