Would depend on the offset I suppose.
Get who ever owns 'em to measure from the hub face (the back of the rim that bolts to the hub) to the outside of the rim. Then take your wheel off and measure from your hub to your guard. See how much room is left if any....
If you want any sigma-galant.com stickers, then look here for how to get them sigma-galant.com stickers

A Sigma offset is around the +20 mark As you go wider the offset has to change, or you will hit the strut where your spring perch is. Look for something around the +10/15 mark. The rear shouldn't be a problem only your fronts.
