Replace stock tires on Lance 1575
I want to replace stock 205/75R14 tires on my Lance 1575 with larger size, 215/75R14 tires. Wondering if they will fit and concerned about bounce causing rubs, scuffs. Thanks for helping.

The 205 tires are rated at 1760 lbs of load. the trailer is rated at max weight of 3500 lbs, so only 20 lbs of margin of safety.
You seem to have forgotten that 10% to 15% of the trailer's gross weight is represented as tongue weight and while it's true that once weight distribution is engaged some of that weight will transfer back to the trailer's tires a good portion of it will be carried by the tow vehicle, not the trailer, so in fact your buffer is actually much greater than you seem to believe.
