I see.
That tire/wheel combo probably should work for you as your not towing a lot of miles.
Some years back a few of our commercial GN trailer mfg (PJ/Kaufman/Starlite..examples) came out with a 265/75-16 tire option and special 7.75 wide trailer wheels.......but after 3-4 years dropped the option. Too many warranty claims on the running gear parts caused by those wide base tires.
Keep a sharp looky on the U bolt nuts/spring keepers/wheel cracks around the lugs and cracks in the spring hangers.
