Spindle mount bearing swap help

I have some spindle mounts, 10/2 that I'm having trouble finding bearings for, I got the wheels off a raptor with stock taper spindles, I'm trying to put them on straight 5/8" spindles. Anyone know where I can find bearings? Or has anyone done this before? Sandtoys is telling me its a different wheel altogether for the 5/8" spindles

If they are made for metric bearings, you will either have to cut the wheels to accept standard bearing sizes or, cut a sleeve to slide over the 5/8" shaft so a metric bearing will fit like its supposed to. I got a hold of some yfz wheels that were that way. I went the sleeve route. Would have been cheaper to sell them and buy some 5/8".

I had a local machine shop cut mine.

Be sure your spindle shaft is going to be long enough. Some of those hubs are pretty wide.
