As long as the bolt pattern of your hub is an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern the Americana Silver Modular Trailer Wheel # AM20760 would be an excellent choice for you. If you are uncertain of your bolt pattern check out the link I attached that shows how to determine bolt patterns.

This wheel should have plenty of capacity as well since it has a 3,750 lb capacity at 110 psi and most load range E tires have a capacity of 3,500 lbs at 90 psi in your size.

I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out also.
