Out of curiosity, I checked out the model, and it doesn't look like this would be all that easy to do. The flat face's thickness is about .15" (according to the model) and the round portion that holds the hex bore over the wheels width is ~.9" diameter - so using either an R6 or R8 bearing looks to be a bit unfeasible.

With that being said, if you really wanted to use these in a dead axle setup, you should be able to get away with taking one of the wheels with an 8mm ID Bore, and opening the bore up to 1/2" ID (round) and then pressing 1/2" OD, 3/8" ID bushings in. It's worth doing the load calculations for the specific bushing you'd use, but at a glance, it seems like it'd be okay.
