Thanks to a fellow OCC members suggestion I found some 8x3.75 wheels that may work. They are listed as having a 50MM ID hub. This is around 1.97”. The 1535 wheels are 2”. I think I should be able to remove 1/64 of material to allow the 1535 bearings to fit. He offers the wheels with two different hub lengths. One 2.78” and one 3.38”. The 1535 wheels are 2.75”, however they are offset. I am thinking that I will be able to get the wheels with 3.375” hubs and cut one side shorter to offset the center of the tire to match the 1535. Or at least come close. My only concern with this strategy is it looks like the center hub on these wheels are not an even 50MM all the way through.
Any thoughts?
