It seems that Budd wheel blanks usually used for 10 lug semi wheels, 22.5 by 8.25, have enough center materials to have a 6.50" pilot and then can be drilled/chamfered for 6 on 8.75 BC that fits the deuce with no adaptor.... and are available. We will see. I'm willing to order 4 for the rear plus spare of my M35A3 4x4 if they can do the 6.5" center.

So I see now there are many sizes available in the un-machined center that can make the 165mm (6.5") center hole. There is 22", 22.5", and 24". Widths vary too, but 22.5 x 8.25 has been my focus. Not familiar with semi rims, is one preferred over the other for rear duals (on 4x4 deuce) because of tire availability or cost of tires in the 46" range?
