Go for the appropriate sized tube

What’s the range on your current tubes?
something like this would be fine

look at what size they are - it says on them - they are more than likely 25-32 anyway. even if 18-25 they will still do the job, but 25-32 would be better.

I’d use the same tubes.

You can use the tubes you have. They likely have a range printed on them that you’ll see when you change over.

Existing will be fine.

Most tubes cover a range, and they are pretty conservative with the range they give, so if they say 23-28, they aren't likely to burst if you put them in 32c tyres

Thanks for all your input

Tubes will just stretch to fit the tyre they are in, so too-narrow tubes are almost always usable (though I wouldn't trust an 18-23 tube in a 4" fatbike tyre).
If a tube is too big, it will be difficult to fit without it getting trapped under the tyre bead or creased (which will result in the tyre chafing through, in due course).

The more stretched a tyre is, the quicker it goes flat when punctured, and the more easily it will chafe through on internal toughnesses, such as the edge of a misplaced rim tape.
