Expert Reply:

If the inside of your trailer tire is rubbing against the frame on your trailer then you can either get a new trailer axle that has a larger hub-face measurement or get slightly smaller tires. The easier solution would be to swap out your tires for smaller ones. We recommend at least 2" of clearance between the tire and the frame so you'll want to keep that in mind.

Let me know what your current tire size is as well as your bolt pattern (see attached article) and the GVWR of your axle and I can make a recommendation for replacement tires from the linked selection.
