I may have some wedges for the front, I'll have to check, how many do you need? They generally don't wear out as there is no movement between the rim and the wedge if everything is as it should be. The nuts may be hard to find, as they have a curved and flat side.
A little rust on the rims is not a gamechanger, as long as the rim is structurally solid some rusting is ok as it doesn't have to make an air tight seal with the tire.
Your rims are likely 5.5" or 6" you'll need to find rims that are that narrow. You might be able to fit a 6.5" 22.5 tubeless if you can find any, but buy one first and mount a tire on it to check that it will fit and the steering will clear (for the front) and that the tire will not rub on the spring (inner rear duel) before pulling the cord on a full set of 6.
