Not sure what to recommend, Gerry.
Are the lugs the same style as what you have now (i.e., are they recessed to take a square-head bolt from either side?), and are they mounted in the same spots relative to the edge? If so I wouldn't think that would change the offset.
I'm a little vague on the rivet pattern. Mine have four on each, two on either side of the lug. How are the ones you're looking at arranged?
A couple of possibilities. IH bought their tires and rims from the tire manufacturers and it's entirely probable that each of them had more than one supplier for the rims, so that there may be more than one pattern to how the lugs were fastened to the rims. Another possibility is that the tractors were shipped to the UK without tires or rims, which were added when they got there, which would introduce a whole other spectrum of rim makers, and maybe even design (though not sure what capacity UK had left t that point for turning out steel and rubber for anything but war materiel). I would think, though that they would have been consistent on the offset, as important as that is to setting up to operate in rows of a given width. If any of the above is the case, I'd say you'd be okay as far as originality.
Another outside possibiliity is that the rims you found would work but weren't necessarily for an A or B. I'm thinking perhaps a Cub, or maybe even another make, like an Allis-Chalmers B or C???

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
