That only applies to 12" and 13" wheels.
10x6 wheels should be no problem. You will have to have spacered drums on the rear though.
You can run 165/70/10 tyres on either 5" or 6" rims.

Re: 10 inch wheels and brakes?
it can depend on the offset of the wheels your fitting too,
i had to modify the front part of the wings on my own mini as a set of 6x10 deep dish wheels i fitted rubbed too much
