Pitch Circle Diameter- measure between the centres of diagonally opposite studs.
You'd also need the offset (whether the mounting flange is in or outboard of the centreline), and the hub hole diameter.

Alternatively, you could go to a breakers and compare wheels to your hearts content.

I still say early model UK- spec Liteace wheels will go straight on.

Did you contact that trailer manufacturer in NZ?
