Yes, The Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Black # LH49FR you were looking at will clear the 12" Titan disc brake conversion on your 5200lb Dexter axle.

12" rotors like what you have are compatible with wheels as small as 14-1/2", so these 15" wheels will not have any clearance issues.

I included a video of the # LH49FR for you to take a look at.
