Moving from a 205 to a 215 shouldn't be an issue, they're only going to be 10mm wider at the cross section. There will be a slight increase in tire diameter as well, if you want I'll research it for you if you think tire height will be a problem clearing your fenders. You'll gain some load carrying capacity as well, not too much though. Remember trailer service tires have a different body construction to handle the side loads that are not usually encountered in passenger/lt tires. For that reason, I'd stick with a trailer service - especially if you're running a triple axle rig. We've has good success with the Maxxis line, the prices are good, too.
