Can a 13 inch Trailer Wheel be Replaced with a 14 inch Wheel

Question:

I have an EZ load trailer with 13inch wheels on it now.. I want a better load rating and better tire. Is it possible to increase to a 14inch wheel to accommodate a 205/75R14 tire? Ive added a pic for Referance.

Your picture didn't make it through but it sounds like you would like to upgrade your tire and wheels on your trailer. You may substitute a 14 inch tire and wheel as long as you have both the wheel well height and width clearance for it, the capacity of your trailer, and has the same bolt pattern.

A 14 inch tire and wheel combination with the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern is the Kenda Load Range D # AM32161. This tire and wheels outer diameter is going to be 26.3 inches compared to your current 24.1 inches with your 175/80-13. This tire and wheel combo will have a width of 8.1 inches.
