Lauren,

I have a 1964 Airstream Ambassador International 28 Ft. This is the 
next bigger trailer to the Overlander, they are nearly identical 
except for the added two feet in length.

Two years ago, I went through the exercise of replacing and upgrading 
tires and wheels. I ended up replacing the five originals with Dexter 
White Spoke 6x15 wheels and Towmaster tubeless ST225/70 R15 tires 
Load Range D tires after much research.  These tires were the best 
match I could find at the time and best fit. They have been very 
satisfactory for my application.

I would seriously question that you will get tires on 7 inch wide 
rims on your trailer. The tires and rims that I am using are a real 
fight to get between the fender wall and lip and the end of the axle 
hub.   I strongly suggest you try before you buy!!!!!
