We ride dirt bikes in same area, the yerf will allow my recently disabled wife to partcipate.There are a couple smaller runoffs with shallow creeks we like to cross.
8" rims with 20" tires if your gonna stick with the stock ones for now... here is a good set for less than $99 bucks, if you add a key chain to the order you get free shipping (orders over $99.00 ships free) http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...t-Max-ATV-Tire
If the rear is the stock set they are 8" rims also.

Most people go with 22" rims on the rear... but anything 20 inches and above should be fine. You just dont want to go lower, because you want clearance for the sprocket and break rotor.

The heims on the tie rod ends might make steering it harder (I've heard), but on the a-arms things get much better, and they are more durable then the ball joints. And replacing a heim is less than half the cost of one ball joint.
