The Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02350545BMFL is a really solid choice for a trailer wheel that looks great but the tire size you have is a passenger vehicle tire and should not be used on a trailer. They aren't rated for the vertical weight trailers typically see and were designed to work with steering axles. So with this wheel you'd really need to go with a trailer tire that fits it like the # LHWL101 from Westlake which has a higher speed rating that most trailers, a great tread design, and a warranty that includes tire replacement. The size is a 175/80-13 which will be a little larger than what you have now but will still work great.
