Great news! Trailer wheels aren't hubcentric they are lugcentric. What that means is that they use the lug nuts to center the wheel on the hub instead on the hub centering the wheel and them the lug nuts holding it on. There will be no need for a ring to mount the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" Black Wheel part # AM3S451.

You do want to ensure that you have the right bolt pattern this wheel is a 5 on 4.5" pattern. If your hubs match this you are good to go. I have included a link to a page showing exactly how to measure this if you haven't already.

If for some reason you don't have that pattern let me know what you do have and I will recommend a suitable replacement.
