Will 225/75-15 Trailer Tires Work To Replace 155/80-13 Trailer Tires
Question:
Hello I am trying to get more ground clearance out of a 2000 pound trailer that I have. Currently it has 155/80r13 on it. I want to put 15 inch rims with a 225 size tire on. Other that potential fender rub, which I can easily fix, do you see any potential downside to fitting the larger wheels and tires?

Expert Reply:
The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel part # AM32459 is what I recommend you use to upgrade the wheels/tires on the trailer. This combo measures 28.4 Diameter x 8.9" Wide. If you have room for this larger size there would be no downside of this and more upsides than just added height such as a higher speed rating, greater weight capacity, and better tire selection.
Please note, we recommend about 3-4" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender and abut 1" from the inside of the tire to the trailer frame.
