Default Ford F350 drw to srw hub question

I have a dually flatbed running 225's on 4.10 gears. Enough is enough. I'm ready to go with some 35's.. Problem being I do not want to buy 6 of them.. My front axle has a weird spacer I can Either take off or keep..

I have researched, but seems a straight forward answer is out of the question. I don't mind if the tires track a little funny. I just don't think the centers on the srw rims will be the same. I had to buy a special spacer to balance my tires on the tire machine.. The centers are huge compared to stock f350 srw..

I guess I could either buy rims with the bigger centers or change the hub... Looking for a deal on less aggressive 35's and black/machined rims. Highway load rated stuff.. I'm cranking like 2600 at 70 mph.. out of control...

I understood the front to be nothing but adapters for the DRW front rim. Remove the adapter and you can run any wheel that would fit. The rear axle is a different beast since the are wider overall you would need a 12"-14" wide rear wheel to run a single out back.

Wonder If i could reverse the adapter or modify it to make a regular wheel work on the rear end?

A regular wheel will work it just needs to be WIDE. I saw a guy running a DRW with a setup like this and asked about the setup. Measure the width of the two DRW wheels and see what size you would need.
