For a wheel that meets your requirements you can use Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20427. This is a 5-on-5 bolt pattern 15 x 5 steel wheel with a silver powder-coat finish. This wheel is made in the USA. Maximum capacity is 1820-lbs.

For a tire you can use Kenda Karrier # AM10245 which is an ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in Load Range D. This tire has a maximum load rating of 2150-lbs at 65-psi pressure but if mounted on the above wheel (which has a lower capacity) you will be limited to the wheel's 1820-lb rating.

We do try to keep as many popular wheel/tire combinations as we can in our warehouse. Since we do not mount these together here at etrailer (this is done by our suppliers) we are limited to the combinations they offer. We can't mount the tire on the wheel for you but we can certainly get you the two correct items so that you can have a local tire shop mount them together.

The wheel/tire combinations we offer are not dynamically balanced, but our suppliers mount them together so that the tire's high spot mates with the wheel's low spot. This is not the same as a full dynamic balance but it does provide a degree of balancing that is fine for trailering applications. Your local tire shop that mounts the tire and wheel together for you may have the necessary set-up to do a full dynamic balance if you like.
