Expert Reply:
I would not recommend using passenger vehicle tires on your trailer. You will only want to use trailer tires that have the letters ST in the size which stand for special trailer. Trailer tires have a thicker side wall and are designed for carrying trailer loads. You should always keep trailer tires inflated to the maximum PSI rating.
As for determining the bolt pattern of your trailer without wheels, I have linked a FAQ article on determining the bolt pattern of trailer wheels. You will just apply this to the lug nut stubs rather than the bolt holes.
