Tire/wheel size
I have a 2013 19’ Escape with the 14” steel wheels and 205-75-14 tires. I want to change to a modular aluminum wheel that’s only available in a 15” wheel. Any problem going with a 15” wheel with 205-75-15 tires?

205/75R14 tires have a diameter of 26.1"
205/75R15 tires have a diameter of 27.1"
That means the 15" tires have a 1/2" larger radius than the 14" tires.
Since the 19' has a tandem axle, the distance in between the tires will be 1" less using 15" tires than it was with the 14". Also, the trailer will be a 1/2" higher and the tires will be 1/2" closer to the top of the wheel well.
You might want to check the rim offset on the rims you like - the Escape comes with a zero offset rim.

I specifically asked Tammy from ETI this question for our 2010 19 with 14” wheels. She said that the tire size that is now stock (205-75-15) will fit without issue.

Make sure to get 5 on 4 1/2 lug pattern, with zero offset as mentioned above. Here's the wheel Escape uses when you order the aluminum wheels option, and the spec sheet from the manufacturer.

Tire Size??
I don't know how big the tires were before we pulled into the campground in Winnipeg but I am sure they are 2 inches bigger now with all the mud.
