Just sleeve it or contact some one like Bearing Engineering and they can find you bearings that will match up.

call bush wheels, they have bearings for that problem

You may also need to change out brake disc. designed for the thinner 1.25 style calipers 30-60A The 1.5 in wheels come set up with the thicker brake disc for the 30-52N caliper.

I take it you bought them used? If you buy new they will provide you the correct bearings and brake disc for your axle size. SkwentnaMan has the right info. Maybe someone we know at AK Bushwheel/Airframes?

At least you don't have to take the wheel apart to swap the disc, which is nice.
