Expert Reply:
The wheel/tire clearance does look a bit snug with the Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10248 on your 2018 Forest River Cherokee Arctic Wolf 305ML6. We recommend having at least 2 or 3 inches when it comes to fender and trailer frame clearance with your tires.
The easiest way to increase that clearance is to use a Dexter Axle Over-Under Conversion Kit to raise the height of your trailer equal to the diameter of your axle plus the height of the leaf spring stack. I believe you will have axles that have a 2-3/8" diameter so you will want to use the kit # K71-384-00. If you happen to have 3" diameter axles then you will need the kit # K71-385-00 instead.
