The mobile home tire we carry sized at 8-14.5 is the Load Range G # AM10327 (3,070 lbs at 116 psi). If you have a 7" wheel then we unfortunately don't don't have any tires that small.
This tire has a 27.7" outer diameter and measure 8" wide which is likely a little larger than what you currently have. As long as you're able to maintain 2" of clearance from the inner sidewall of the tire to your trailer frame, and about 4" of clearance from the top of your tire tread to your fender you'll be okay as far as fitment goes.
The best solution for you would be to replace your mobile home axles with axles that use more standard parts and are designed to be used more than once (as mobile home axles are really only meant to be used one time). Since it sounds like you're on a budget we don't have to get into that now but I will go ahead and link our selection of replacement axles as well as a helpful article showing how to choose a replacement axle that you can reference if you're ever in the market to replace your axles.
I've also linked some review videos of the trailer tires mentioned above for you to reference.
