The Dexstar 15 x 5-Inch Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20440 can accept a tire width up to 205mm, meaning a tire in size ST205/75-15. This rim has a shipping weight of 17-lbs.
A tire of size 225/75-15 is too wide for this rim; this tire size requires a 15 x 5-inch rim like # TA37RR which is a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern or # AM20539 which is a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
The rim you mentioned above is a 5-on-4-1/2 as on # AM20440.
I linked an article on trailer tire sizing that may be of interest to you. It shows various trailer tire sizes and the wheel sizes that are compatible.
