You have the rare stock bolt-on wire wheels? So do I. (Actually mine are in
the attic,
because I got tired of getting flats due to failing inner tubes).
If you need to replace any spokes, you will have to have them custom-made.
These wheels
take spokes that are a bit shorter than the ones used by the more common
splined-hub
wire wheels. I had a few spare spokes made up by these guys:

As for the tires, these wire wheels are the same width as the standard wheels.
In my opinion, 175-70 is the ideal size for them. (It's what I have).
