    Yup......you can sqeeze a 5 in the rear if you really want, but its tight.

    Also, you need a front wheel with a 20mm axle. The newer style, '03 and up, have a 26mm axle.

    That depends on how much you want to spend.
    Can't go wrong with the KTM oem stuff (mmmm....bicolors), or Excels if you don't want to break the bank. I've heard good things about Warp 9 Wheels if you are on a really tight budget.
