Going to a larger wheel size question

I recently purchased an older small pop up trailer that has 12 inch wheels with five lugs.
Is there any problem with changing to a larger size like 13 inch?

  • Went from 13 in. to 14 in. on my hybrid TT. As stated make sure there is room for the swap. Bought the wheels at Northern Tool and the tires at a local tire shop. Added more load capacity to the tires and as an added bonus the bearing speed is reduced due to a larger circumference of the tire.
  • If there is space - then go for it. Just watch out for clearances and offset
    of the wheel. I went from 14 - 15 inch wheels with no problems but it took me a while to measure the openings and work with a tire size guide to make sure I had
    the room.
