As long as the bolt holes fit the hub/drum/rotor and the wheel has the proper offset you can go from a 14" to a 15". As for the tires, don't use car tires, skinny or otherwise. They are too weak/flexible in the sidewall. Get proper trailer tires such as Goodyear Marathons.

Get trailer (type ST) tires. Make sure the rims are the correct size and width for the tires. Carlisle brand tires have a bad reputation, look for something else.<br /><br />Read this:<br /> http://www.championtrailers.com/tire_art.html
