Thanks for your reply.  The 2010 Rpods have 13 inch wheels and the body of the trailer sits fairly close to the ground.  I am concerned about clearance going through dips and ruts in forest service type roads here in Colordado.  It is not the axle clearance that I am concerned with, it is the ends of the trailer as I go through these low areas.  Thanks for the website!

I installed the axel lifts on my 173 mainly so that I could get in and out of my sloped driveway. The lifts raise the body of the trailer 3 1/2 inches.

Here is a reference guide on how to measure bolt pattern.

With this you can measure your pod and look up a replacement wheel on etrailer.com

As long as you have clearance, there should not be a problem.  I am  not sure what advantage you hope to gain.  Are you planning to offroad with the pod and want the maximum ground clearance?
 
Here is a source of trailer wheels and tires in any lug pattern  http://www.etrailer.com
 
My new pod has the lift kit, but this does not raise the axle.  Should I be looking at big wheels?
