No, the wheels need to match the tires so you will need new ones. Also if planning on tires with load ratings above 1850 lbs then you need 15x6 wheels with the proper ratings and not 15x5.
There are a lot of threads under tires, tires, tires but my rule of thumb is to figure the maximum weight (GVWR - mine had a sticker on the inside of the sink drawer), subtract the tongue weight, divide by 2, and add 15% for shock loads.
Mine came out 2154 lbs so I looked for a tire that had at least a 2150 lb rating and had a diameter close to the originals. This turned out to be a ST205/75R15 Load Range D (max inflation 65 psi).
Final note. Always have trailer tires balanced. The axle has no shocks so an out of balance tire will add stresses you really do not want.
