Larger tires

Has anyone successfully upsized the 13" tires on a Jayco 23b to 14's? My research (such as it is) shows the 14's as needing an 1½ more space each. This would leave ¾ to 1" clearance between them. Is that enough?
Plenty of room elsewhere.

    That is what I did. They are Bias as opposed to radial. We shall see how they do.

    I believe (e Trailer) the recommended is 4 inches but Dexter says a minimum of 1" will work.
