You don't mention the tire size you're dealing with, but you'll need to locate some wheels that have a positive offset of at least 1/2 an inch.

The # AM20522 wheel you'd looked at is a 15 inch wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, so I'll assume that's in the neighborhood of what you're needing. If that's the case, I'd recommend the # AM20504 Dexstar conventional 15 x 6 rim with a +.05 inch offset. This will move the outer edges of your tires in by 1/2 inch on each side, assuming you're currently using wheels with a zero offset.

If you need a different wheel size/bolt pattern, let me know what you need and I'll be happy to help.

If you wish, you can dress up the appearance of the wheel with baby moon hubcaps like # AM90086 which will give your trailer that retro look that a lot of folks seem to like.

I've linked to a video describing the wheels recommended above.
