Dennis, from what I know (which ain't much according to some ), it can and has been done. Depends on when your Trike (conversion kit) was produced. Can't go Wider but can go from 15" to 16". Kicker is the offset and overall diameter of Wheel/Tire combination must remain the same as the OEM overall diameter. You can go up to a 18" but that would require a Low-Pro tire and although look good (if you are into that "look") would roughen the ride up. Hard part is finding a Rim you like that has the proper offset. May require you to grind the inside of wheel well which can be Dicey and need a Surgeon-smooth touch to pull off which can be tough with a high rpm grinders as your scalpel. All about the Offset and Diameter of combination.
Hi,
My trike has an '05 conversion and I replaced the 14'' wheels and tires with 15'' rims from an Integra.
If this helps pm me and I can send pic's and more detail.
Good luck and ride safe!,
