A good big rig trailer repair shop will know how to handle any situation they find and advise you on repairs or replace.
I have a trailer with tandem 6k axles with 5/8" difference between tires/wheels. The trailer has probably over 150k miles and I generally run the LT tires on this particular heavy loaded trailer for 40k-45k miles.

These type shops also do our annual trailer inspection required for all commercially registered trailers. These guys are very sharp on trailers of all sizes.
