Fronts should be ok but the rears the arches will need to be rolled offset needs to be about ET15 and it would help to stretch the tyres
What are the wheels?

What Lee said above, 9J just about fit with stretched tyres but anything bigger, you'll need to do some work to the arch, roll/flare

Sounds like arch work time.
Ive found the perfect wheels for mine but 9.5j on the back with an offset of -1 without the adapters is going to be tough!
