What Issues Can Arise From Switching Your Trailer To Smaller Wheels
Question:
Have a 2020 winnebago 2306BH micro minnie we just got and it has ST205/75R15 tires, would there be an issue if I went to a ST205/75R14 tire, need a little more clearance when getting out of the building?

Expert Reply:
When lowering the wheel size you'll typically end up lowering the capacity of the wheel and tire so you'll need to make sure that the new wheel/tire is capable of handling the weight of the trailer. Lowering the height will also give you less ground clearance and may require you to get a new ball mount in order to compensate for the drop.
With your trailer having a GVWR of 7k you'd most likely be fine using smaller wheels like the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Series T09 Aluminum Wheel # AM34659 you were looking at but you'll want to verify that this wheel has the correct bolt pattern to fit your hubs.
