For a tire and wheel combo with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that uses the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # 274-000012 we have the Westlake # LH37VR. The radial tire is Load Range D Tire (2,040 pounds at 65 psi) comes mounted to a aluminum wheel ("Standard Rust Resistance"). The wheel itself measures 14 inches x 5-1/2 inches. We do not have a combo available that has this particular tire mounted to a 14 inch x 6 inch wheel.
