Question:

Assuming you have the clearance for a slightly larger wheel and tire on your cattle trailer all you really need to know is the bolt pattern of the wheels you currently have so that you can get a wheel that will bolt right up. If you are unsure of the bolt pattern you have on your wheels check out the FAQ article I attached that shows how to determine this.
Your trailer will need to have an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern or a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern to go with a 16 inch wheel and tire combo from us. For an 8 lug combo you would want part # AM35099, for a 6 lug combo part # AM32764.
Another option would be to get a 15 inch tire from us since we have them readily available. For a size the closest to yours you would want a ST225-75R15 like part # AM10303.
I attached an FAQ article on trailer tires for you to check out as well.
