Having only an inch of fender clearance with a smaller than standard 13 inch trailer tire size would indicate you need something smaller as that's not enough clearance. You'd need to go with something a couple inches smaller in diameter like the part # AM31202 for if you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern or # AM31208HWTB if you have a 4 bolt pattern.
