You are going to have to measure your tire clearances to determine if your 6x10 utility trailer will allow for the larger Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Vesper Silver Mod Wheel # MX57FR. This tire is going to be roughly 7/8" taller than a 205/75R14 # AM10235 so you will need to have at least 3-7/16" of vertical clearance for the suspension to have enough room to travel and if your fenders wrap around the tire you need at least 1-7/16" to ensure there is enough clearance as the tread can flex.
