Increasing your wheel size one inch is typically not an issue, so you likely will be able to use a wheel like the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver Spoke # AX02350545BMFL you asked from. If you use a wheel like this, then I recommend using the Provider ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TTWTRTM1758013C. This combination will give you an outer diameter of 24 inches so you will need to make sure you have about 4 inches from the top of the tire to the underside of the fender for suspension clearance.
