Since there is no standard set of bearings for a trailer you will have to do one of two things. You can pull a wheel and hub and check the bearings you have on one spindle. The numbers will typically be found stamped on the side of the bearings as shown in the attached photo.
If you cannot find the numbers you will need to use calipers like part # PTW80157 and take some measurements in the locations shown in the photo. You will also need to measure the inside bore of the hub on your trailer.
After getting either the numbers off the bearings or the measurements you can let me know and I will be glad to make recommendations that will work for you.
