Hey Randy, in the trailer tire size of 215/75R17.5 like the part # TTWP15175 that you referenced there is only one wheel width that we can recommend and that is 6-3/4 inches. Unlike other sizes there isn't a width range that is acceptable with this tire. Probably because of it's very high weight capacity.

No, switching from a 16" wheel to a 17.5" wheel will not increase ride height. This really comes down to size as there are different size tires for each of these wheel options. If we take the largest tire size we offer for each, 235/85-16…

It most likely would be wide enough. A 205/75-14 tire can fit on a 5, 5-1/2, 6 or a 6-1/2 inch wide rim. A 215/75-14 tire fits on a 5-1/2, 6, 6-1/2 or a 7 inch rim. It's nearly impossible to determine the correct width of a given rim unless the…
