I just cut mine to the same width the the wheel, the file the edges just a little bit to round them (yeah, it makes it look more like a tire, but I really do it because it keeps the ABS from snagging on things when its sliding)
You can get a straight cut by hand, if you are careful, or you can use a bandsaw to make perfect cuts.
