This is my point. Tyres are everything, especially if you are running controlled low power.

The wheel and tyre thing makes more difference than anything else. Both in looks and performance. Seeing 2.2" wheels and minispikes on Scorpions and Frogs is in my opinion, just not that much fun. ...

Size is pretty much irrelevant, assuming they are RC parts they are never going to be huge. What Clive said above is very much relevant though. Post pics/drawings.

You can cut and sleeve existing ones, using aluminium or steel and the appropriate grade of Loctite. Or weld it. Or make from scratch. I've sleeved a few in my time, works fine.
