To fit an ST225/75-15 tire you want at least a 6 inch wide wheel. When measuring a wheel you measure from bead seat to bead seat where the rubber makes contact with the wheel.

If you have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we don't have any black wheels that fits the tires you are needing. You need a 6" wheel with a high weight capacity. Load Range E tires have an approximate load range of 2830 pounds.

I have the Aluminum Sendel Series T02 Machined Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM22653. It is not black and has a weight capacity of only 2,150 pounds.

For black wheels, we have the

- Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20545. These are black, but not aluminum.

- Aluminum Sendel Series T07 Black Machined Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM97XR. These would be a great choice.

- Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Glossy Black # LH49FR. These would be a great choice.

These three choices do not come with tire. For a tire, I suggest the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # TR225LRE. It is the load range E that you wanted and it will work with the 15 x 6 wheel. It also has an impressive 81 mph speed rating. You could get it mounted at a local shop upon arrival.

I spoke to Americana and the Aluminum Sendel Series T07 Black Machined Trailer Wheel #AM25DR does indeed have steel inserts in the lug nut holes. This will help to protect them from galvanic corrosion when installed.
