To determine if the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w 14" Condor Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D - Gunmetal # LH37VR you were looking will fit your trailer you will need to know the bolt pattern of your hub, and how much clearance you have between the tire and frame, and tire and wheel well with your current tires.
Starting with the bolt pattern the easiest way to determine the bolt pattern of your hubs is to measure one of your current wheels. I included a helpful article that will walk you through how to measure your bolt pattern.
Moving on to the tire clearance, the best way is to compare the ST205/75R14 to your current tires to see if they will be larger or smaller.
The ST205/75R14 is 26.1" tall and 8" wide, so if you can tell me what size tires you currently have on your trailer I would be happy compare the differences for you.
Ideally you want 1-2" clearance from the inside edge of the tire to the frame rail, and 3-4" clearance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the wheel well to allow the suspension to work properly without interference.
I included a video of the # LH37VR for you to take a look at.
