There isnt any free solution. You've got to either go with a lowering kit, spacers or aftermarket wheels. Tires alone probably wont help. If you put a 12" wide tire on the rear with STOCK wheels, it's very likely going to rub on the fuel tank. Suspension settings are always a compromise. Too soft and it'll bound around and create a lot of roll in the turns. Too stiff and it'll ride like a brick and you'll have a hard time getting traction in rough terrain like rock climbing or washouts. You just got to set them where you feel comfortable for your riding style and terrain.

the stock tires are cheap tires with a soft side wall ,so a wider firmer tire with a good stiff side wall will help.
