Will 2006 Wilderness Trailer Have Room to Go to 15 inch Diameter by 6 inch Wide Wheel

Question:

Mine has a 15x5inch wheel . Can this trailer accomodate a 15x6inch wheel with 225x75x15 tires?

It's pretty rare that a trailer couldn't handle going to a wheel and tire combo that's 1 inch wider. Since the additional width is split on either side of the mounting flange you'd end up losing half an inch of clearance to the inside and outside of your wheel/tire. Wouldn't hurt to measure first but I'd be shocked if you didn't have the needed clearance.

The tire size that you referenced 225/75-15, requires a 6 inch wide 15 inch trailer wheel. We don't have this combination already mounted. You could go with the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire # AM10303, it has a weight capacity of 2,830 lbs at 80 psi and a speed rating of 81 mph for your tires. Then for your wheel, a Dexstar 15" White Spoke Wheel part # AM20532. The wheel has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
