Replace 205/75/14 with 215/75/14?

On a car I would not hesitate to do this, but I'm not familiar with trailer wheels. Has anyone done this minor upgrade? There are simply no options to up our capacity while keeping our pretty 14" alloys which came with the 3220.
We've upgraded our axles and springs, now the tires are the weak point.
Having the additional 110lb capacity per tire would be nice peace of mind.
*we would not overload any capacities, always keeping below the original Gross figures.
We'd really appreciate your input.

Providing you have sufficient clearances for the approximately ½” increase in height & width there are no other obstacles. Both tire sizes fit the same size rims. Just check and see what the OE rims load capacity is to be on the safe side.

Note: Even though you have increased your axle load capacity, the GAWR for the new axles will still remain at the value depicted on the trailer’s certification label. That value was set by the vehicle manufacturer and can only be increased by them or a certified vehicle modifier.

If you're considering Maxxis tires, the 215/75R14's are .6" larger in diameter so that's about 3/4" closer in wheel spacing than the 205/75R14. I don't think you'll have any issues at all, and considering that they are both inflated to 50PSI, there's no impact on wheel/tire limitations. I'd say, if you want to do that, I don't see any reason to be concerned. Keep in mind, that it's only 440 pounds total increase, but since it's all a safety margin increase, you likely couldn't go wrong.

Thanks gents. I will still abide by the stock GVWR no matter what; I recognize that does not change no matter what mods a person does.
I've just found some 'D' rated 205/75 tires, the Taskmaster being the front runner so far. I'm headed to the trailer later or tomorrow to check the rims to see what they can accommodate for pressure. If they'll take 65psi (I suspect they will) I may go that route instead. By going to the 'D', it also raises the speed rating. That would again be purely for peace of mind knowing they would handle 60mph all day without heating up as much as a 'C' rated for 65mph. I don't plan on lowering our mileage or safety by travelling faster
I appreciate your input.
