11r24.5 outer diameter is 43.4” mostly
275/22.5 is about 40”
that’ll gain you 1.75” nominally
Might go with a taller stand/riser underneath the 5th wheel plate as another option. Prolly cheaper than both alternatives offered if you labor it yourself by a bunch.
fleetpride or another parts house ought to have a few options if you check with them on heights available.
I just changed my fixed fontaine stand from 10” to 6.25”
/// its setting in the bed of my pickup I’ll put a picture here of what you’d be looking for
