The 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire # AM30670 has a diameter of 20.7" and a width of 4.9". As long as you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you can look at the Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Liger Aluminum Wheel # CR39ZR if you are upgrading. This tire is 26.14" in diameter which will be just under 3" taller in your fender. It is 7.99" wide which will be 1.5" closer inside your fender which still gives you plenty of clearance. The aluminum wheels are also much better at displacing heat from the hub so this will also help keep it cooler.
If you have the 4 on 4" bolt pattern the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM3S030 is going to be our largest size you can move up to.
