Never seen or heard of a Viva on 10" wheels. Smallest ones were 12" on the HA/HB, dout 10" ones would go over the brakes.

wont clear the brakes, drum or disc. Also gearing would be stupid, as it is it very very low. Using 165/70r10 against stock 155/80r12 gives a 88% change in gearing 1st would be a waste of time and top speed would be about 70mph.
Personally, go with 13's and the lowest profiles you can find - 165/65's, 185/55's, 195/45's. Gives a small wheel, and you can get tyres, which is getting more of a problem on 10" and 12" sizes
