Help Id spec Bruiser hubs

I've been given these nice custom hubs for a Bruiser truck, but nobody seems to know what kind of wheel they were meant to fit.   DO YOU???

Some pics:

You all have a good Wednesday!

The just look to be wheel spacers for the stock Bruiser / Mountaineer axles and wheels..

Are they to be used with longer screws between the original hubs and the wheels to even the width front to rear?

I dunno, but now that you say that I am wondering if they are really some type of adapter to fit another wheel making it double?

Is it possible it is an adapter to fit the original Hilux/Blazer wheels which are also 3 bolt but a slightly different pcd?

Tamiya three speed is right.  They even the width of the front axle to the back

I was told these are front custom hubs to use the Bruiser chassis in RC tractor pulling. Funny thing that did not cross my mind before! In 4x4 truck pulling there's a rule that front axles must have a wider stance (Since I've never been that much into 4wd truck pulling I have no clue what's the reason for that).

So today I grabbed my Toyota Bruiser, dusted it a bit and tested them on. The adapters made the wheels stand our about 10mm wider than the ones from the stock rear axle.

Here's some photos of real 1:1 4wd pullers (notice the wider stance front):

A couple of Bruiser pullers. These would look even more scale with the front adapters on.

This is not a mod I plan to use with my truck, though. I only have one 1985 Bruiser and don't see me getting another example. So I think I better sell these aluminum tractor pulling hubs go to someone that will use them. For $10 I'll let them go or better than that I can trade them for some part that I can use on my RC projects here. Anybody interested?

You all have a fantastic Friday!
