    Why? You will have to back farther into the water to load.

    This site gives tire diameter’s by wheel diameter and tire spec so you can determine what will fit under your fenders.

    If you go from a 14" to a 16" you're probably going to be forced to us a 60 to 65 sidewall height as opposed to the 75 you have now, unless you have a ton of room under the fenders. That's going to give you less sidewall height. I would much prefer to have more sidewall on a trailer tire.

    You will need to run a 215/65-16 tire, which it is a 27" tall and your current tire has a 26.7" tall. That will only put you up 1/8".
