We have what you're looking for. Depending on the amount of room that you have is going to determine the size you can go up to. The original tire that you have like the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM30060 is about 16.1" Tall and 4.6" wide.
The first notable step up would be a Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire part # AM3H325 which is about 18.3" Tall and 8.9" Wide. This one is significantly wider than you current tire but just slightly taller.
For a good increase in height you can use the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM31957 this tire is 24.1" Tall and 7" Wide.
So again as long as you have the room available these will work with your 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern rims. If your rim only has 4 holes then it is a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and we have these same sizes available with that pattern. The load ranges on these are well above what you ca get out of a 4.80/4.00-8 wheel and tire combo so you're in really good shape there. We recommend that you have at least 2" of room from the back side of the tire to the closest part of the trailer and that you have at least 2" of room from the top side of the tire to the fender above it.
