The clearance issues are not with the wheel well on my trailer. It is with
the shock stud and nut. I have a 5000# trailer riding on only 2 tires so
would need a load range D tire at a minimum. To keep my 225's from rubbing I
use a 7/32" spacer. It appears that there is a Titan tire dealer about 15
miles away. Not as convienent as the Goodyear dealer in town, but may be
worth a try.
