Helpful Expert Reply:

The bearing dimensions you mentioned match the standard number 42 trailer spindle so we can easily fit a hub to your axles. Only issue is none of the hubs that will fit have the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you are wanting as that's a bolt pattern for lower capacity axles.

You have to go with an idler hub like the part # 8-213-5UC1 which has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern.
