I was going to try and squeeze the Cuda in my 7' wide trailer by just making some plywood rounds with a hole pattern in the middle of them.

Agreed if you we're going to try and drive it. But if it's just rolling around I think it would work ok.

Donuts are usually offset quite a bit to begin with. I agree though, pick a rim you think will work and put in your own centers.
