I've brought some 17" wheels off someone with out tyres so just wondered what will the correct tyres I'd need they are 17" 7j wide with an offset of 35 tbh that means nothing to me so if someone know what I should look for I'd be very greatful

Just had same issue with tyres to be perfectly honest call kwiwklyfitt or such like and ask them.

You will need different bolts for aftermarket wheels. Standard wheels will have radius bolts, whereas aftermarket require tapered.
