Landcruiser wheels would be styling but this is a tent trailer not an off road military trailer. It is too big and wide and heavy for serious trails. The tires will probably always be smaller than the tow vehicles tires which makes me admit there is no advantage to having matching wheels other than style points. If it were a serious expedition trailer then I would be able to justify matching wheels and tires but this is not that type of trailer. It sucks to be on a budget. I will probably opt for a 235 r15 wheel/tire combo that will minimize the need for much more modding of the trailer but will still be a big improvement over the stock wheelbarrow tires.
