Every tire size does require the width of the wheel to be correct for it. For example the tire size of ST205/75-15 that you have requires the wheel width to be between 5 and 6-1/2 inches like the part # AM20545 which is 6 inches wide and has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches.

The 205/75-15 Tire and Wheel Combo, #AM32395, is 8.1 inches wide and 27.3 inches tall. An F78-14 tire and wheel will be about the same width but it will be 1 inch shorter. I have included a link to a tire size FAQ article that should help.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
