Most of us with trailers with 15" tires have experienced having this problem. I have a Pace American with 6 lug 15 " tires. After losing another tire coming home from Epping last year I went to my trailer guy to solve the problem. He mounted up a 16" tire for me and put in on my trailer, there was about less then an inch on top space to clear and said the tire would bottom out on the inner fender of the trailer. He suggested I go to and E rated 15" which I did. So far this has worked. Just a note I have a 3500 lb car , golf car and the normal amount of tools and other junk in my trailer. 16" clearance may work on this trailer if I had a light car or dragster. I hope this helps you.
