I would just suggest that the smaller the wheels for a relatively short ramp, the more trouble you might have, with the boat on the trailer, surmounting the end of a concrete ramp where the sand or mud has washed away--pretty common on ramps where powerboats "power" onto trailers, eroding the bottom around the ramp.
The idea is that the smaller wheels would allow the boat to be closer to the water sooner, allowing it to float before the wheels reach the end of the ramp, not because I think they would be any easier to get back onto the concrete if they drop into the power wash hole.
