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?

From the picture, you are right. There is a bushing/bearing stop in the bore. Measure the depth of your bushing/bearing that you are going to use. Looks like 3/4" depth from the picture. I think I would have a machine shop do the bore, to match the bushing/bearing O.D., doing it by hand you may end up the a olong bore. Good luck in your endevers.
