This is a split package, so you should be fine with:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wireguard.git
cd wireguard
makepkg -is

This requires pacman to be granted permissions by su or sudo, though.
How about splitting the install?

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wireguard.git
cd wireguard
makepkg

And with root privileges:

pacman -U wireguard-dkms-*.pkg.tar.xz wireguard-tools-*.pkg.tar.xz 

-- 
main(a){char*c=/*    Schoene Gruesse                         */"B?IJj;MEH"
"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Best regards             my address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*    Chris            cc -ox -xc - && ./x    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
