When choosing skid wheels you want to try to find some that won't reduce your ground clearance too much. Motorhomes typically use the larger skid wheels like the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979014 while shorter skid wheels like the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979021 are typically better for travel trailers.
Attached is a link to our selection of skid wheels where you can filter them by their diameter. I recommend installing some that are long enough to be the lowest point towards the rear of your trailer but aren't so long that you are losing a bunch of ground clearance.
