Question:
The suspension description indicates it is for standard tires, but does not indicate what standardinch is. I am planning a small 4 x 8 trailer with no more than 1200 lbs for the trailer and gear. I will be pulling it with a Toyota Tacoma truck with 265/75-R16 tires. I want to use the same tires and wheels, so I can use the truck spare if necessary. Is a 26575-R16 considered a standard tire?

The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR2000S02 states "regular" as opposed to "off road". The off road version part # ASR1THDS02 has more distance between the hub face and the frame of the trailer. These are very popular with the off road camper that have larger 31" x 10.5" or 33" x 12.5" type tires.
With your tire size of 265/75R16 that means you have 31.65" x 10.43" tires with that said the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange - Off-Road Tires - 2,200 lbs part # ASR1THDS02 is the way to go. This will allow the clearance you need.
You want to use the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K which has the 6 on 5.5" bolt pattern that will match your Tacoma's wheel bolt pattern.
I've included videos I have done on both the suspension and the hubs to check out.
