Picture would help or especially how many lugs u have. Harbor Freight has best selections of rim's and tires Overtons has cheap prices as well. A few really old trailer had a big 4 or 5 pattern. They were like 1' apart you can still get those from trailer supply stores. Just need tires rated for weight of boat + trailer

Take a large piece of paper. Jam it over the lugs to get a pattern. Then get the largest diameter tire with that lug spacing that you can fit under the fenders.

My 1970 trail rite trailer for my Venture 17 came with F78x14 tires, today you will find the 205/70 should be a close replacement and easily found. I'm not sure that there is enough clearance under the fenders for a 15 inch wheel. I have a 5 lug wheel and it is pretty standard, you can just measure this before you order the wheels.

As for the bolt hole pattern, my 1976 Dodge Aspin spare work as a spare on the trailer that came with my 1970 Venture 21. If that helps
