So long as you have at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail you can switch from 205/75-14 to 215/70-14 trailer tires. All you are adding is 1/2" of width with the larger 215/70-14 tires so I cannot imagine you will have any fit issues but you should check to verify. Then, depending on what load range you need, use one of the following:

- Load Range C (1,870 lb capacity): Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10229

- Load Range D (2,200 lb capacity): Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2157514D
