I can ask our lasses dad how much he'll paint them for...

Tyre size, not a clue, would've thought in the region of 225 45 17 or something.

Tyres online @ Blackcircles.com: discount tyre dealers for car tyres, 4x4 and motorbike tyres would probably the best for some cheap tyres.

I don't know what the normal sizes are on a New Age I'm afraid but......

The recommended size for tyres on a Classic is 215/40/17 regardless whether the wheels are from a New Age or a Classic. You can get away with 215/45/17 just be aware that using this size will make your speedo either dead accurate or read slightly under i.e. speedo says 30 but you're actually doing 31/32, not ideal but hardly a big issue.

Dunno if that helps
