yes it will be fine to fit spacers. its all depending on how much space there is and how low the car is. get a tape measure out and have a look, then have a think where he would like the wheels to stick out to and if they would scrub. then chose an appropriate spacer.

i have 20mm (each side) so 40mm in total on the rear of my seat ibiza.

hope that helps
