Hi, i've decided to definately go with 10" wheels but was gonna get them in 7" width but read somewhere that road tyres will not fit i'm sure they do but can someone put my mind at rest please, oh also what do you think the best tyres are regardless of price i think i can get them pretty cheap *smiley*

6" suffice for the road tyres available. A008 are good road tyres.
