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 1ยฝ more space each. This would leave ยพ to 1" clearance between them. Is that enough?
Plenty of room elsewhere.

If you have 175/80/13 now, consider upgrading to 185/80/13 in a load range D as I did. I gained a little height and about 250 pounds per tire of capacity


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.
