To go from a 5.30-12 tire to a 185/80-13 tire size will require a bit more clearance so you'd need to check first. The 13 inch size will be right at 2-1/2 inches taller in overall diameter. As long as you then have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you could install a wheel and tire like the part # AM3S334 which would work well. The width of the tire would be right at 2 inches wider too.
