The Loadstar ST175/80D13 # AM1ST76 you found is going to have the same with as your 175/60R13 but the new tire is going to be slightly taller at 24" versus 22.6" on your tire. This means the new tire will sit 0.7" closer to your fender and any other parts such as steps which you may have. We typically like to see at least 3" of vertical travel between the fender and tire surface for suspension travel and clearance. So if you have 3.7" currently with tire this will be enough for the taller tire.
