Expert Reply:

You are correct that the ST205/75R15 tires like the # AM1ST92 are 27.1" tall which is exactly one inch taller than the ST205/75R14 tires you currently have on your trailer.

Since the width of the tires is the exact same, as long as you currently have at least 4" from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender you will not have any clearance issues.

To change to the ST205/75R15 tires you will also need 15" wheels, so I recommend going with a wheel and tire combination like the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32395 which already comes installed on a 15" wheel, but you will want to confirm the bolt pattern of your current wheels.

You more than likely have the common 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern which is what the wheel included with the # AM1ST92 has, but using the included article you will be able to confirm this.

I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
