Start with a 15/40, with the smaller tires that may be all you need. If you still think you want some more low end, go 15-42.. Stock is 16/40

 

I run a 15/42 and have since I bought my DS. I'm 250 and with a 45 lbs son sitting in my lap- I'm able to climb anything and wheelie for football fields in any gear (including 5th wide open). I would recommend this gearing, but running 20's it will cut your top end a noticible amount. . . .

 

I droped to a 15 up front & 40 in the rear. found this to be a good all around with nice low end. i can still get 80 mph out of it and with the +6 swinger it will launch super hard in 2nd gear.i tried to go to a 43 in the rear & it was way to low, nice out of the hole but no top end. you may have to change the chain or add to it to go to the larger in the rear. the front is easy to change & cheaper in price. you may want to start there.
