Yes, you can go with a wheel and tire that has a larger pilot diameter like the part # AM31202 which has a pilot diameter of 3.19 inch.
As long as your current wheel is held on with lug nuts and not lug bolts you can use a wheel with a larger pilot diameter as the wheel centers on the lugs. If you have wheel bolts instead you'd have to match the pilot diameter exactly since the wheel centers on that.
