We do have a wide variety of trailer tire sizes ranging from tires that fit 8" wheels all of the way up to 17-1/2" tires. When it comes to tires that fit 8" wheels your 215/60-8 tires, like part # AM1HP28, are actually going to be the biggest.
If you're wanting to go with a larger tire that requires a larger wheel then that may still be possible but we need to look at a few things first. For proper tire clearance we want to have at at least 2" of space from the sidewall of the tire to the trailer frame, and then at least 4" of clearance from the tire tread to the trailer fender. The other thing to look at is the bolt pattern of your current wheels.
Once we have all of this information then we can see if there is an upgraded tire/wheel combo that will fit.
