Default 16" to 17.5" trailer wheel conversion!

Here are some pics of my trailer under my Stilletto. It had 16" wheels with 235/85/16 Goodyear Wrangler HT load range E's on it. I replaced them with 17.5" alcoa's with 215/75/17.5 Goodyear load range H 16 ply rating tires. I have way more tire and wheel than I have boat, trailer and axle now. No worries about blowouts in 100 degree heat with this setup. The goodyears are the only 17.5 with a 75mph speed rating. All the others are rated at 62mph. I am selling my old tires and wheels if anyone is interested. They will be in the swap shortly.

Looks great! A little off topic, but what kind of floor is that in your building? That looks phenomenal, too.
