6 bolt clamp-on duals on 4-bolt rims

Okay guys, I think I need to change my name to "Dumbo" or "Brainless"!!!!

I've been looking for a set of 16.9-38 and 18.4-34 duals and finally found some today. I headed out and loaded them up then returned home to put one on the Oliver to get ready to finish plowing. Only then did I realize the duals I bought were 6 bolt style but my rims have 4 bolts eyes.

What can I do short of welding on the rims to make them 4-bolt clamp ons?

Here is a photo that illustrates the problem. The blue dots are the bolt holders on the Dual rim and the red are the eye bolts on the Tractor rim. The eye bolts on the tractor are 90 degrees apart and the bolt holders on the dual rim are 60 degrees apart so I can have two bolts attached right now at 0 and 180 degrees.

They make (or at least used to make) some "tabs" that hooked to the outer lip on the rim and extended inwards, ending with a bolt hole for the just like the welded-on pieces you have now. Check with a farm tire dealer. If you can find some, that would get you out of removing the tires from the rims to deal with the mis-placed welded-on tabs you now have.
 
here are 2 ways to do it. The easyest would be the over the rim clamp.

I found some of the over the rim clamps that will get me going.

Thank you for the recommendation.
