Wheels are 15x6" JJ Carlyle Tire and Wheel 5 on 4.5" bolt circle part # 1521138564 with 0 offset and a 3.3" hub hole rated for 2150 lbs. This matches the tires.
Nothing wrong with the 225 except you will need the lift kit.
Tires are Power King Towmax STR MAX 48 rated at 2150 lbs at 65 psi with a 25.6" diameter (215x75x14s were 25.2") so has 1/4" less clearance.
Nothing wrong with the MAXXIS but the tire dealer I am going to recommended these and have a nylon overlay.

Thanks, Padgett. I've read many of your posts and appreciate your expertise. I know that you were not in favor of lifting your trailer over concerns of raising the center of gravity etc., and was wondering if you still had it at stock height.
I had pretty much ruled out going to a 225 tire over concerns of rubbing the fender well (I know there are fixes for that), and it doesn't seem necessary. I wasn't actually aware that the 225 width would also be a bit taller.
Thanks for your comments!
