Changing bolt pattern, maybe spindles, on Sylvansport Go

I have a Sylvansport Go and really like it. I would like to be able to drag it to more remote places. My goal is to try and run the same wheels as on my GX470. This will give me greater ground clearance and have redundant spare tires. Plus the emergency use of trailer tires if need be.

The GX is running OEM wheels with the 6x139.7 pattern. The Go is running small 10 inch wheels with a 5 bolt pattern (looks like 5x4.5). The Go has a Dexter torsion axle.

It seems like my potential options would be to find wheel spacers that will allow for the bolt pattern to change or to change the spindles on the axle. I’m not trailer or wheel & tire expert so I’m looking for any and all hell on this.

I already have the extra wheels and know which stabilizing jacks and tongue jack I’ll need as well as a Lock N Roll hitch.

I found some spacers on Amazon that convert 5x4.5 to 6x5.5 which also says it is the same as 6x139.7.

You will also need to lift it in order to fit them. Also, bracing underneath would be an idea too. I have one as well, but I think before I take it on hard off road paths with a load, I would add some skids and extra support under it.
