I have 195r/14c on the camper I want some lift and width. What size can I use. Lift/ height. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The typical 195/75R14 tire will have a diameter of 25.5 inches and a section width of 7.7 inches, so we can definitely get you something larger.
The Kenda Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10229 will have a diameter of 26.8 inches and a section width of 8.5 inches. This is also rated up to 1,870 pounds at 50 psi and has an M speed rating, meaning it is rated up to 81 miles per hour.
It should be noted that you should have a minimum of 3 inches between the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender. If upgrading to a larger tire does not allow for this space, you may be able to install the Dexter Over-Under Kit # K71-384-00 if you have a 2 3/8 inch axle. This will flip the axle to the bottom side of the leaf springs if they are not already.
