I have a set of M135 wheels that I'm wanting to run on my M275A2 tractor. I will be flipping the rear hubs and installing 12.00R20 Michelin XML's. The M135 wheels that I have measure about 1-1/4" less in backspacing than stock deuce wheels. They're not in the greatest shape, and wanted to see if you guys have any advice about cleaning up and running these wheels. Or not doing it, if there are safety issues.
Here is a general picture of the wheels:

Here is a picture of the corrosion on the worst wheel:
