The overall tire diameter will increase from 24.1 inches to 26.3 inches so you'd have about 1 inch less of fender clearance. The clearance between the frame of the trailer and the tire sidewall would decrease by 15 mm too. It's very common for people to upgrade the size of their wheel/tires like this so most likely you'd have the needed clearance but you should check to be sure.
For a wheel and tire in that size, I recommend the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire # AM10235, you would have to add a 14" White Spoke Wheel. The # AM20352 would be a great option. The tire has a speed rating of 81 mph, a weight capacity of 2,200 lbs at 75 psi, and comes with a 5-year warranty. The Dexstar wheel is made in the USA.
