if the wheels you have on the kart have either dunlop sl3 (slick) tyres on them or kt3 wet tyres on them then they are the correct wheels. Having said that there are a whloe range of different widths of wheels available to you. the size you use does depend on a number of things they include.
1 chassis
2 driver ability
3 track
4 weather conditions
5 temperature
and a whole host more things.
on the front wheels you also have the amount of offset which is on the front wheel. this is the distance that the inside bearing is away from the centreline of the wheel. you will find if you look at karts with wet tyres on them that the offset is along way from the centreline of the wheel this allows a wide track width for wet running. if you let us know what kart you have and what tracks you are at and your driver ablility and the engine you are running then someone will be able to help with the wheels that may give you a decent starting point for your kart. how are you measuring your rims because 7" or 180mm does seem wide for rear tyres on a cadet kart.
