Let's start with the 185/75-14. This is typically used as a passenger car tire size, and would be 25.7 inches in diameter by 7 inches wide. The closest trailer tire size we offer to that is 205/75-14, which would measure 26.14 in diameter by 8 inches wide. Going with this size would move your tire about 1/4 inch closer to the fender or wheel well and 1/2 inch closer to the trailer on the inside, which shouldn't prove to be problem. I'd recommend going with the Taskmaster Provider radial tire, available in load range C, part # TR20514 which has a 1760 lb per tire/ 3520 lb per axle capacity.

For the 205/65-15, I'd recommend the 205/75-15 radial tire, which is available in a load range C with a 1820 lb per tire/3640 lb per axle capacity as part # TTWTRTM2057515C or in a load range D with a 2150 lb per tire/4300 lb per axle capacity as part # TR20515D.

I've linked to product description videos for the tires I recommended above.
