Any 1/8th onroad donuts will do fine, there's also 1/10th dirt oval donuts such as
these from rc4less which are made to fit on buggy wheels.

You can usually get away with just stretching them onto standard buggy wheels but ideally you need to glue them on to the wheels, so you need a flat surface on the wheel. Get a set of buggy wheels and remove the remove the tyre locating ribs from the surface. If you've got access to a lathe you can do this in seconds, for the rest of us cut the ribs off with side cutters or very carefully with a knife (I'd definitely recommend side cutters!) then finish them off with a Dremel or sandpaper. Leave the outer rib in place as it helps support the wheel as well as protect the tyre from damage.
Glue the tyres on with either contact adhesive or cyano,contact adhesive means you can get the tyres off fairly easily when they are worn, cyano means you have less chance of the tyre peeling off when racing, but means you have to sand the glue off the wheel when you replace the foams.
