Changing trailer tire sizes is fine so long as you first make sure you have enough clearance in the wheel wells to allow for the larger tire. A 205/75R14 tire has an overall diameter of about 26-1/4-inches while the 3/4-inch-wider 225/75R14 tire will have an overall diameter of 28.31-inches. You need to maintain at least 3-inches of clearance above the tread to allow for normal suspension travel and also have enough clearance for the increased tire width.
