Going with the larger diameter ST205/75-15 tire will move the top of the tire about 1/2 inch closer to the wheel well. If this added proximity would leave you at least 3-4 inches clearance to the top of the wheel well, then you'll be fine going with the larger diameter tire. There just a tiny fraction of an inch width difference, so that won't come onto play.

We don't offer a 15 inch wheel with a 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, but we do offer 275/75-15 Load Range D tires. I'd recommend the Taskmaster Provider 205/75-15 Radial, part # TR20515D Load Range D which offers a 2150 lb per tire/4300 lb per axle capacity which would more than handle the GVWR of your Travel Trailer.
