A 225/75-15 size tire requires a 15" wheel with at least a 6" width, so it will not fit your existing 15" x 5" wheel. In order to upgrade to this larger tire size a new wheel will be needed as well.

If your existing wheel and hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Tire w/ White Mod Wheel # A225R645WM is a really nice option. The radial tire features a maximum load of 2,540 pounds at 65 psi and an excellent speed rating of 81 mph.

If you have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, then the Provider # TA57VR on the Silver Mod wheel will work perfectly. This is the same tire as above but mounted on the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt wheel instead.

I have attached a couple short video reviews on these tire and wheel combos that you can check out as well.
