Helpful Expert Reply:
To go from a 175/80-13 to a 14 inch trailer wheel will give you a tire setup that is 2.2 inches taller in diameter. Since that gets split on either side of the axle that means you'd have 1.1 inches less of fender clearance. In terms of width .6 of an inch less of inner width.
As long as that's not an issue for your setup you could use the Karrier wheel and tire part # AM32156 which would work well. This is a ST205/75R14 mounted on a galvanized wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
