Ooooooo, so many questions.

The width of the tyre will depend on the width of the forks/mudgaurd/other stuff that may get in the way.
The height of the tyre will effect the speedo, if it is run off the front wheel. Plus you need to take into account the previous points.

You can get trike tyres, but they are still motorbike size.

Would love to see a picture of your trike, too.
