Expert Reply:
The Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM3H290 will measure about 18.2" in diameter by about 8.5" wide. The 16.5 x 6.5 - 8 tires currently on your trailer will measure about 16.4" in diameter and about 6.5" wide. Therefore, as long as you have an addition 1.8" of height and 2" of width to fit the new tires and wheels on your trailer then they will work well for you. Please keep in mind that you will also want to allow for about 2" of suspension travel.
The above tire and wheel combo has a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. The tire has a load range C rating with a 935 lb weight capacity (per tire). I have also attached a review video of the tire and wheel combo for you as well.
