there are tyre size and correct rim width charts on the net, but 8.5 - 10 inches will be fine but wall height has an effect on the rim width range, the lower the profile the narrower the fitment band width.

You could always fit 265 or even 275 tyres to your current (7" presumably) Cookie Cutters.

I found this wheel/tire calculator to be of some help..  At least more fun to play than Angry Birds.
