It is possible that the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Wheel and Tire Combination # AM3S120 could be used to replace the 5.30-12 tires and wheels on your 1997 Star Craft Constellation 1021, but you will need to do some measuring as these tires are a bit larger than what you currently have.

The ST175/80D13 measures in at 24" tall x 6.6" wide where your 5.30-12 measures in at 21.9" tall and 5.6" wide. You will need to measure from the top of your current tires to the bottom of the fender and have a measurement of 4" or more, and measure from the inside edge of the tire to the frame and have a measurement of 2" or more for these larger tires to fit without issue.

If you find you do not have adequate clearance your best bet is just sticking with the 5.30-12 tire size and using the # TT53012C to replace your current tires.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
