A lot depends on your chosen wheels offset, and what guards you choose to run. Offset is best measured by another term (often confused) called backspace. This is the distance from the mounting surface to the most inner part of the rim, ie the bit that will conflict with the suspension. For Supers I believe the limit under standard guards is 7 inches on the front, but best to check with what others have done.
It appears that your wheel width is goverened by rules in various parts of Australia- so best you check with your local people. Hot rod clubs are great source of info for this. Or kit car / scratch build car clubs.
Tyre selection I reckon then depends on your power output.
CT runs 185's and 205's on his oval and he races it with a 1916cc motor. Bugs are really light at the front so you want to get a tyre that will warm up and be suitable with very little weight on it. Tyre width and profiles also affect the way the car will handle, ie understeer / oversteer etc.
So no short answer really, just more things to think about and research, unless you just want to look good then I'd say go for 17s and phat is good.
Have fun
