Is WILD'ing in the evening possible?

Possible, but hard.

Are we talking as tough as trying when you are going to bed? (which I personally find unbelievably difficult and I end up staying still for 2 hours and then getting frustrated)
or just "would take a bit of time"?

That's how i meant it. If you sleep in the usual hours, then 6-9PM is late enough for it to count as "going to bed".

I typically sleep a few hours later than that (I'll typically go to bed at 12am or 1am) so would that take away some of the difficulty?

No. The thing is that when you try WILD immediately after going to bed, it'll be harder to do. I'd say it doesn't change much if you try it some hours earlier...
WILD is the best done after 5 or so hours... or you can even try 3 hours... The point is that you need to sleep before it to make it easier.

Okay Thanks.
Would it be possible to have it as 1-2 hours sleep first ( I know it's not the reccomended). I can quite often have the urge to sleep in the evening and I can typically be awoken by an iphone alarm after an hour of sleeping in the evening.

It never hurts to try

I had LDs after 1 hour 50 minutes of sleep for example... You would probably reach an earlier REM cycle.
