See this page for details of specification for your car. Note that there are two specs, one for 4-stud, one for 5-stud. If you get the same diameter alloy wheels, you should be able to use the existing tyres.

Any tyre place should do it. Get all four wheels balanced before fitting.

Also, check with your insurance as it can affect your premium.
