Hello, All
I'm new to the forum and new to vintage bikes in general. I just bought a 1966 24" Typhoon and it came with S7 tires.. After a couple days of research, I've realized that white wall tires and tires in general are extremely scarce for these wheels.. So i'm planning on replacing the wheels with something wider.
I've looked online and I've seen some vintage bikes with the Felt ThickBrick tires. This is the look I want to achieve. Which wheels/tire setup do you recommend for my Typhoon?
Also, I tried putting the front wheel from my wife's newer 26" Cruiser SS on my bike, but the hub's threads don't fit into the fork since it's bigger than the S7's hub and I believe the tire will hit the frame if it did actually fit. Will I run into this issue with aftermarket wheels/tires? Will I need to spread the openings?
Thank you all in advance and I look forward to being a part of the community!
Will these fit my bike without issues?:

Along with some bigger tires?:
