Trailer may need spacer blocks to raise trailer up higher and provide proper clearance for tires. This can happen when 13” tires are put on 10’ trailers.

Yes, if you maintain a minimum of 3 inches of clearance between your tire and the trailer frame or bed. There is 3” of travel in the torsion suspension so you will need this much clearance. Generally you can upgrade tires one size without having to add spacer blocks but always check for clearance.

You may have unequal side-to-side loading, the axle might not be aligned, tires may not be inflated to proper PSI or the wheel bearings may not be properly tightened and oiled/greased.
