Can 205/75R15 Wheels And Tires Be Mounted On a Coachman Apex Nano With 14" Wheels?

Question:

Hello, we have a coachman Apex Nano with original 14inch wheel 14x5.5JJ, would like to upgrade to 15inch wheel. Would that be possible? If yes, what is your recommendation. Prefer aluminum wheel and goodyear Endurance tire. Thank you

To determine if you will be able to move from your ST205/75R14 # AM34659 to a 15" you will need to check for how much clearance you have. The Castle Rock ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" Liger Aluminum Wheel # LH89FR while being the same width is about 1" taller. This will reduce the gap between your tires by 1" and any vertical clearance to a fender or other parts 1/2". I like to see a minimum of 2" between the tires and 3" of vertical clearance for the suspension to be able to compress correctly.

Currently we do not have any Goodyear Endurance tires in your size so you can get the wheel and tire package listed above or we do have the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH34FR that you can have tires mounted on.
