Given the information you have provided, the Trailer Hub and Drum, part # 8-201-5UC3 is what you are needing. This assumes that the brake assemblies you have are 12 inch. The bearings, cap, and seals are included with the Hub and drum.

However, this hub wouldn't be compatible with a 15 inch wheel, which is what you were wanting because you already have a set of tires for a 15 inch wheel. You'll need to go up in size to a 16 inch wheel/tire combo. You'll want to choose a wheel/tire whose capacity is equal to at least half the capacity of your axle. If you click the provided link, you can see the 16 inch wheel/tire combos we offer.
