The Westlake ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire - Load Range D item # WST54FR you referenced will fit the Aluminum Sendel Series T07 Black Machined Trailer Wheel item # AM97XR. This is a 15" x 6" rim with a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. This tire requires a 15" rim that is 6" wide. You will need to check that your trailer has enough clearance for larger tires. You will want at least 3" - 4" of space between the top of your tire and rim. The ST235/75R15 is 2.77" taller and 1.18" wider than your current ST205/75R14. 15" is the smallest radial off-road trailer tire.
