You can put any 2.2 wheels on it that have a hex mount. As far as doing wheelies out of the box, it wont. You have a four wheel drive, seven pound truck with a clutch. if you put a different clutch set up and have it tuned perfect it may pull up a little bit. Gears can make a big diff, but you will lose top end doing that. So, do you want wheelies or do you want fast? That is a trade off in any car or truck, model or 1:1. Upgrading the engine will give you the best of both worlds, but it comes at a much higher price than gears or a clutch. Dont get me wrong though, the MT2 is an awesome truck. you will not be disappointed.
