Looking at these wheels.

It looks to be cut on the back side of the wheel with a recess to slip over a hub. Not sure how big a EB front hub is. Other thing is I have rear drum brakes so kind of looks like this will not fit with them.

Anyone have experience with these? Want an aluminum bead lock wheel and these are nice. Others looking at are Method

and Fuel

Anyone know how the back side of them are built. Seems these are the first I have seen with a back side bored this way.

I have them. I think they are the best ones out there. They fit fine. I have 4 wheel disks but I don't think there is an issue with drum brakes. Sorry, no pics of the back.

I think I was looking wrong at the pics. Should fit no problem best I can tell.

Yes, that's what I figured! The pic makes it look concave but it's really convex. Lots of folks running these on EBs. They are a good looking wheel - especially when polished and mine are not!
