1986 Sunline Saturn T1550 trailer wheels

The original tire size on my camper is ST175/80R13. I have replaced the tires 2 times since I have owned it. The Kenda Karrier ST175/80R13 have served me well but I am thinking of buying the larger 14 inch rims and tires. The Kenda Karrier brand size ST205/75R14 is what I plan to purchase and install. This 14 inch wheel has the same bolt pattern (5 on 4-1/2") as the 13 inch rim. I have the original axle and leaf suspension. This larger ST205/75R14 tire and wheel has an outer diameter of 26.3" and the tire width is 8.1". My question is there enough wheel well height and width clearance for these new tires?

I asked Sunline back in the day if I could go from ST205/75R14 to ST205/75R15 on my '94 T-2251 at the time, and they said yeah, it should fit no problem.

I don't know about your case because the width is quite a bit different. Height will probably depend on how big of a bump you hit.

Sunline did change over from the 13" to 14" wheels and the size you suggested for 1987 models. I'm not sure if they did anything underneath to modify and accommodate. From the outside, they looked the same, just larger wheels.

After checking my measurements and the response to my question I have decided to go with the 14 inch wheels. I will do the change out sometime before summer and post how it all goes. Thank you
