That's about right, except you could go with the Sailun G-rated tires which some people (myself included) are trying.
Personally I see no sense in going to a 17.5" wheel/tire when you have wheels that will handle the higher pressure of a G-rated tire. The Sailun S637 G-rated tires weight capacity is 3,750 lbs. With triple axles you are good for 22,500 lbs., way over your GVWR and much, much higher than your actual trailer axle weight which I imagine is around 15,000 lbs. The Sailun can be had for less than $200 each.
This is what I have done and the Sailun's seem to be doing fine so far.
