Hey Dan,

Appreciate the photo and you'll need to take a measurement as I wouldn't be able to tell you offhand if your trailer has the clearance for the Loadstar ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tire w/ 15" Black Spoke Wheel # KE78JR.

The # KE78JR measures 29" in diameter, and a 205/75-15 is 27.1" in diameter, so you'll be adding about an inch of height; based on the photo that won't be any issue whatsoever. But for the width, the # KE78JR is 9.3" wide compared to the 8.1" width of a 205/75-15 tire. So the tire is going to be just about 1/2" closer to the frame/fender on the inside. I can't tell if you have that much extra space so you'll just want to make sure, and if you do, the tires will work.

Ok I currently have 2” from the frame to the side wall so I should be good I’ve done all the measurements and I think it will work I ordered one to see if it will fit that will be the true test lol
