OEM means original equipment manufacturer. In this case Factory tires!
According to NuWa site your trailer had LT235/85R16 E rated tires. Tires only need a minimum of 1 inch between them. There are also LT245/75R16E with the same rating which are shorter. If you have 33" or more center to center of the axles, then 235's are fine.
