As long as your current wheels have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern, the # AM32680 225/75-15 Load Range E wheel/tire combo you'd looked at would be a suitable replacement. Because you're decreasing in size with a tire that's 2-1/2 inches smaller in diameter, switching to the ST225/75-15 tires would lower your trailer's ride height by 1-1/4 inches. The load range E tire used on the # AM32680 has a 2830 lb weight capacity per tire or 5660 lbs per axle.
I've linked to a product description video for the # AM32680 where our resident tire expert Jeff will walk you through the wheel/tire combo's features. I've also linked to some helpful articles about trailer wheels and tires.
