Where to get pritns done

I have a load of images scanned into my computer from old African photos and would like to get the restored versions printed. The original scanned photos were 86mmx86mm (2032px*2032px) and 125mmx86mm (2952x2032) Where's a good place to get these printed and do they even make photo paper in these sizes anymore, is that about 3x3 and 5x3?

I've looked at the sizes they do and can't see either of the sizes I need, should I try cropping the pictures to 6x4 or something and reduce the quality to 300dpi instead of the 600dpi they are at the moment

cool, I'll get them to do 5x5 prints, I won't get any stretching will I or will it be ok from the high res?

edit/ also what would be the best size photo to get for the 5x3s with minimal amount of cropping (7.5x5 maybe?)

o yea if anyone wants to see the pics they are in this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17678500 (didn't realise you can't scroll down so you'll have to use the little nav buttons at the bottom)

Cheers for the help, I might try and just crop the 5x3 photos to suit a 6x4 print, will have a play about when I get home from work.

Just got all the photos on photobox and the 5x5 is perfect and 6x4 is really good too, only a slight cropping in that I lose about 30px from the top and bottom of the 5x3 pics
