Can Trailer with 205/75R15 be Replaced with 225/75R15

Question:

My utility trailer is now equipped with 205/75-R15, can I go up in size to a 225/75-R15?

You should have no problem installing a 225/75R15 on a rim that previously had a 205/75R15, but you should note that 205 is designed to fit 5 to 6-1/2 inch wide rims and the 225 is designed to fit 6 to 7 inch wide rims. You might verify your current rim size first.

Also, the 225 will be almost an 1-1/2 inches taller than your previous tire. You'll want to make sure you have the clearance.

If all that checks out the tire I would recommend is the # LHWL304. This is a Load Range E tire.
