You're correct. If you use a zero offset wheel that has the mounting plate at the centerline of the wheel, installing 205/75-15 tires would add a total of 8 inches of width to your 95 inch # 8327834-EB axle would place you at 103 inches.
Using a wheel such as # AM20766 which has a 1/2 inch positive offset would move the outer edge of both tires closer to the trailer by 1/2 inch each for a total of 1 inch which would place you at the 102 inch width you're looking for.
I've linked you to a product description video for the wheel I recommended. In the video, you can see our Resident tire/wheel expert Jeff explain the details and features of the wheel, including an explanation of the offset.
