Expert Reply:
Unless the tires that you have specifically state that you need to use a wheel with a certain width you will be just fine going with a 14" x 5-1/2" wheel like the Dexstar # AM20365 or a 14" x 6" wheel like the Americana # AM20364.
Either of these is compatible with your Cargo Mate trailer as they also have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.
If you don't already have tires and you are looking for tire and wheel combinations then I highly recommend going with a Goodyear Endurance tire and Dexstar wheel.
For 205/75R14 size tires you would need part # AM10235 but if you are needing 215/75R14 size tires then part # AM32195 is what you need instead.
The 205/75R14 is a Range D and has a 2,040 lbs at 65 psi weight rating as well as an 87 mph speed rating. You would pair the tire that you choose with the Dexstar Wheel #AM20352. Since these do not come mounted, you could easily have that done at a local shop.
The 215/75R14 size is a lower Range C tire with a 1,870 lb at 50 psi. This # AM32195 is a a tire and wheel combo so the tire would arrive already mounted on the wheel.
