Yes, this is the historic Yankee-RACO Adapter shown on your drawing and on my Picture.
I do not know if RACO wheels are still very common these days.

Emilios wheels (seems to be WCM) got an other "Standard" with 3 bolts for assembling and 3 for mounting...

The key factor here would be not the bolt pattern but the depth of the inner rims to clear the control arms and to properly fit under the wheel well. This is where a rim specifically for the Yankee brand might have to be considered? But any hub adapter for the Yankee to try new wheels will be a warm welcome.

Laurent:

The chassis would also be very cool with the Yankee Dodge Viper body!

Yankee has the cobra chassis in 2 options available, base and semi complete, but no mention of a body, driveshaft or engine?

Definitely excited on this one . Why don't you guys use the RC4wd knock-off hubs ? To fit standard 6 lug rims

Because yankee has one popular standard rim that is exclusive to their hub, but many of us including me use them on the American 6 or 4 hubs.

Still no info on that cobra body? I'm holding out on the chassis till I hear something but I hope the qunity is not limited?
