Trailer Wheel and Tire that Can Fit on 2k Hub # 8-258BTUC1

Question:

I have a wheel set from an old Ford that are 5x135 and 16x7. I would like to use them on a trailer and would like to confirm the hub that will work. Why do the hubs max out at 15inch wheel size? Axel is 1.25inch dia.

That bolt pattern is not one that is currently supported by trailer hubs. The bolt pattern closest to that for trailer is 5 on 5-1/2 inch but even that is pretty rare. The hub you mentioned part # 8-258BTUC1 has the very popular bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch. I'd have to recommend you go with a trailer wheel and tire like the # AM32395. Trailer hubs like the one mentioned to have wheel size restrictions in some cases.
