Without re-centering a set of 20 inch rims I think you are out of luck. Centers can be cut cheaper then you might think. However you have to consider the machine work required to fit our M37 Lug-centric hubs, and to get them true to those lugs. I did a set of HHMV 16.5 and had about $100 invested in each center alone, not counting the used HHMV rim, machine work to the rim to remove the center, and welding the new center in true to the rim. Then when complete there is the refinishing.

there are 20s in our lug pattern you find them on 30s and 40s ford and dodge maybe more. if you go ask on the Power Wagon forums I bet your could find a set in a couple days.

Yep, but they are too narrow to mount anything over a 7.00, maybe 7.50 size, and the dish is all wrong,too.

Better to re-center a duece wheel from the M34 that used singles.

Better yet (maybe cheaper & easier), re-flange the hub to the 6-bolt pattern and go disc brakes.
