Could 8 inch Wheel and Tire Fit In Place of 15 inch Wheel and Tire

Question:

I currently have ST205/75D-15 wheels on my 14foot camping trailer, it weights 1600 lbs. ... Due to height restrictions on my garage door, I would like to temporarily put 8inch wheels on just for moving trailer unloaded in and out of garage ... Would any of the 8inch Kendra wheels work ? ... Wheel bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5 inches with 31/8inch center hole.

As long as your trailer axles do not have brakes on them the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H325 that you referenced will fit on your hubs since it has the same 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. The pilot diameter of this wheel is a bit smaller though at 2.8 inches so you might measure to make sure this diameter would fit over the center portion of your trailer hub.
