“Tow rating” has no meaning. It’s advice. Insurance covers stupidity, and this idea is common (a camping trailer).
Tires are a concern. E-rated is too high as it’s not a good match. A quality brand passenger car tire where more than 15% reserve is re-elected is the path. I wouldn’t want small tires , 14” are what I’d be thinking about.
Torsion axle needs wheel face (lugnut face) just outside trailer wall for best stability. Leaf spring requires the leaf & axle attach point at above (U-haul style) with wheels well outside.
U-Haul style surge brakes (as with boats) not bad either.
“Where” the axles are located is a concern. The farther back, the easier to tow, but trailer tongue weight goes up. A TW range of 10-15% is standard, but shoot for 12% plus.
Somewhere in the WWW universe is/are trailer-building guides which address above. Tongue length another concern. Etc.
