So lot of rims that fit may or may not end up working for you.

Years ago WheelSmith made me a set of oem centers on 7” rims with 4” backspacing. It let me mount 10” cheater slicks on the back of the bird and run 55-56 (color difference) dog dishes. But that’s another story.
Super expensive back then?
