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

What alloys are they, aftermarket ones will need different bolts.

i got new bolts for mine due to having spacers. if you dont have spacers you wont need them but i also think it looks alot better! :D

click on steel or alloys and that give you the sizes you will need!
