Finding the correct tire will depend on the tires you currently have on your trailer and how much space you have. You want to make sure you have at least 3" of clearance between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fender/wheel well and then around 1.5" between the sidewall of the tire and the side of the fender/wheel well. You do have some +/- play with this measurement, but the minimum of 3" on top is a must.
The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C # AM32131, as an example, will have an overall diameter of 26.3" and a width of 8.1". If these keep at least 3" of space on top of the wheel and around 1.5" of space on the side, then it will be a great option (I'm a fan of black mod wheels). If you still have a ton of room though, you can absolutely go larger.
