Havasu Camper

Hello all
I just picked up this little 1971 Havasue Camper. In 2012 she was removed from her original frame and put on a Tractor Supply 5x8 carry on trailer.
She has 14 in radial car tires on now which do not give a lot of wheel clearance.
Several people have suggested just putting the regular white carrier on tires but they don’t get balanced. Thoughts!
Thanks

Confused what do you mean “ putting the regular white carrier on tires”?

The white wheels and already mounted tires used on utility trailers since the camper body was mounted on a 5x8 utility trailer

Ok now I get it
Sorry I couldn’t figure that out .... I’m sure someone with a compact/trails west or havasu will chime in as those are all very similar

The camper isn’t on it’s original frame. It’s on a utility trailer now

Registry
If the tires don't rub anywhere at anytime and it has been towed a fare bit, I wouldn't worry about it.
I run about a half inch clearance in spots on my tires and it's never been an issue over thousands of miles.
There are many different sizes of 14 inch tires which would all have the capacity to carry your trailer.
