The only 15 inch wheels that we currently have available have a 4 on 9.44 bolt pattern. You will need to check the bolt pattern on your trailer to make sure it is the same. To check the bolt pattern measure center to center on lug nuts directly across from each other.

The only 4 bolt wheels that are a size 15 wheel are a vintage style 4 on 9.44, part # AM20395. The Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel w/ plus 5 mm Offset - 15 x 5 Rim, probably will not fit your 275/75/15 tire, since it is only 5" wide. You would need to downsize to a tire like the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D
Item # TR20515D that has a diameter of 27.17" and a section width of 7.99" for you to compare. This load range D has a 2,150 lbs at 65 psi capacity.

We have other wheels for a 4-bolt pattern that are 12, 13 and 14 inches in diameter.

I have linked an FAQ on determining wheel bolt pattern and an FAQ on tire sizes that may be of good reference.
