What Size Tires Fit on the 15 x 5 Trailer Wheel with 5 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern

Question

Question:

I have a set of 225/75-15 tires that I would like to put on these rims. It seems that 5inch width is too narrow for these tires. From what I am reading I need a 6-7inch rim. Need 15inch rim 5 on 5.5inch pattern with 4.25inch bore. for a small 4X6 trailer, old military style.
