Recommended Wheel Tire Combo w/ Less then 18 Inch Diameter for Storing a Trailer

Question:

Hi, we have a small camping trailer 1400 lb, which does not fit into our garage by a few inches with the standard tires the tires are 29 inches in diameter as measured. For the winter, we would like to swap the wheels for smaller ones, so that we can put the trailer into the garage. Do you have a set of cheaper tires with rims, with a diameter of 18, for 5 lug by 4.5 configuration? The tires dont need to be super high quality, since they will be only used to store the trailer in our garage. Thanks for any hints or comments!

The closest wheel tire combo we have to 18" in overall diameter without going over is the Kenda 165/65-8 Bias Trailer Tire item # AM3H220. It is 16-1/2", has a 8" white wheel, with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. This wheel tire combo has a 800 lbs capacity each so two of them will give you plenty of capacity for your 1,400 lbs trailer while sitting in storage.
