compatible with
standard US wheels?

What do you wish to accomplish with the larger wheels? More height? More
stability? More eye appeal?

Need more ground clearance.....my under-trailer storage drawer drags its
trailing edge too often.

What about changing your tongue and lowering it an
inch or two?

Well, then explain what the problem is with a level
trailer or slightly nose low to raise the tail end.
Mine is slightly nose low to help prevent dragging
the tail end over every curb getting into and out of
gas stations.

Yep, mount the ball on the tow vehicle as low as possible, just so it
doesn't create problems with anything dragging at the front of the
trailer. Bigger tires are also a good idea, and I think that Cobra may
have a factory option for bigger tires.
