Picked up some 17s with brand new tyres for £60 all fitted fine but the front right seems to knock and when moving on idle it's seems to look like it's shuffling while turning could.this be the alloy or the suspension or wheel bearing it does seem to move forward and backwards a little when you lift the clutch cheers guys

Here is a pic bit tatty but who's complaining for £60

Did the noise only arrive after the new wheels were fitted? If so then check the wheel is actually tight on the hub.

Yh checked that it's solid against it

swap the wheel to the other side to see if the noise moves

Good shout I'm gonna swap it for the nearside rear today as 3 of four tyres have no directional markers can u have a close look at my pic ad tell me from the required tread if it's wrong

The tyre will say ' outside' or 'rotation' with an arrow on the outer sidewall, so you can see when its on the car if its correct - put a picture on the forum if you aren't sure and we will try to point you in the right direction.... geddit!!

They all have outside on outside but trad seems strange will get some pics on

Front right

Rear right

Rear left the only rotation arrow is on front left and is correct

Those looks like asymmetrical tires. As a general rule tires with a specific rotational direction will have the threads forming an arrow on top of the tires.

Edit: I reread the thread. If the tires have an "outside" and an "inside" side they are most certainly asymetrical and can be put anywhere. Btw check if your new alloys require rings to fit the hub. Car will be knocking if one or more is missing.

When you say hub rings do you mean spacers or spigot rings and that's what my tyres look like

Also at 70 it does feel like a lot of vibration or rattling from rear end

That would suggest that either they are out of balance or you have a deformed tyre, check them for bumps, especially the tread.
