Question:
Hi, if space is not an issue, can I replace my 165/70/13 trailer rims and tyres with 235/75/15?

If space is not an issue, then yes, you sure can. Our rule of thumb is that you want at least 3" of clearance between the tire and the fender or wheel well. Then you want at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and the frame of the trailer. A lot of times the fender or wheel well area will limit what size tire you can use, but if you have enough space there is no reason you can't upgrade.
