In order to find the correct wheel and tire for you, we will need to know the bolt pattern on the existing wheel and the size of the existing tire. Almost all trailer wheels have a zero offset in back spacing.

If the existing wheels on your trailer have a 5 bolt pattern, it can be difficult to measure the wheel bolt pattern. Since the bolt holes are not directly across from one another, you will want to measure from the center of a bolt hole directly across to the middle between two bolt holes. This measurement will tell you the wheel bolt pattern, whether it is 5 on 4-1/2 inch, 5 on 4-3/4 inch, or 5 on 5 inch.

Another way to measure the bolt hole pattern is to measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the next bolt hole. If the distance is 2-5/8 inches, the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2 inch; if the distance is 2-3/4 inches, the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4 inch; if the distance is 3 inches, the bolt pattern is 5 on 5 inch; is the distance is 3-14 inches, the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2 inch.

With 15 inch wheels, the two tire sizes we carry at 205/75-15 and 225/75-15. The size of your existing tire should be stamped on the outside of the tire. The number should start with ST, for "special trailer," meaning the tire is designed for use with trailers.

I have attached some help articles on trailer tires that may be of help to you.
