Get Double Butted DT spokes, will be a few quid more, but a better wheel.
559 is just metric for saying 26" and has nothing to do with the place where the spoke nipple are in the rim.
17.5 is the internal width of the rim, often approximate.
Offset is for rims where the spoke holes are set to one side. Normally omitted unless you know you need to use it.
SJS give the ERD as 533mm as mentioned above
so using
http://lenni.info/edd/ (have a read of the how to measure for some info)
double checking info here http://www.hopetech.com/webtop/modules/ ... nsions.pdf for hub dimensions you can see the Bulb and Pro2 (135) have near as anyone cares for spokes the same measurments

Based on 12mm nipples.
(to back up measurements above)
probably get away with 256mm with 14mm DT nipples or 258 both side with 12mm DT nipples. As 257 are often not stocked.
But leave it to the bike shop, for 20 odd quid it's worth it and they have the lengths to try with.
260mm would be too long so you couldn't use them anyway.
It's well worth measuring things yourself as plucking them off a random website for ERD and there are many Bulb and Pro 2 types of hub around (or at least measurements that differ for them)
