It depends, you could replace a 13" wheel with a 14" wheel on your 2002 Pro 175 TX boat trailer. You may have to relocate the fenders of your boat trailer in order for the 14" wheels to work in place of the 13" wheels. For example, the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C, part # AM32156, has a an outer diameter of 26.3" with a width of 8.1". You will need a minimum of 3" between your fender and the top of the tire.

I have included a product description link, a video review link, and weblink to all our 14" tires and wheels below.
