I am sure there is but I would need you to take some measurements off of your current spindle or bearings so I can find the right hubs. The easiest way to do this would be to pull one of your hubs and get the part numbers off of the sides of the bearings. If there aren't any you'll need to measure the diameter of the spindles where the seal and bearings ride.
Check out the picture I attached that shows where this is. You will need an exact measurement so either a digital caliper like item # PTW80157 will be needed.
If you could message me back or comment below with that information I would be happy to find you the right hubs and brakes.
