Availability of Trailer Wheel and Tire with 5 on 5 inch Bolt Pattern

Question:

I own a 1975 custom made 4foot x 8foot trailer that appears to have used an auto mobile axil. the bolt pattern of the original wheels is 5 on 5 and the wheels are 14. I wanted to upgrade the wheels and tires but can not find any options in my wheel and lug pattern. Can I use a 15inch 5 on 5inch wheel on the existing axil? If not what, other options do I have?

All of the trailer wheels we offer with a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern are 15 inch diameter wheels. This shouldn't be a problem as the wheel and tire would only be around an inch taller. The part # TA43ZR should work well but you might compare the diameter of this tire at 27.13 inches with your fender clearance to be sure though.
