8 Inch Trailer Wheel That is Between 3-3/4" and 7" Wide

Question:

I want to go with a wider wheel and tire on my trailer for less compaction on my yard. Today, the trailer has 8 inch wheel with a 4.80-8 tire with 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern wheel. I believe this wheel is only about 3.75inch wide and am looking at the 8inch wheel which is 7inch wide but knowing the tire is 8.9inch wide, I am worried I will have the proper clearance. Is there a wheel between the 3.75inch width and the 7?

There is a trailer tire with a wheel that is between 3-3/4" and 7" wide, the Kenda # AM3H220. This wheel is 5-3/8" wide, has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and has on it a 165/65-8 bias tire, which is 6.6" wide and has a 16.5" diameter. It also has a load range of C with a maximum capacity of 800 lbs at 70 psi.
