Welcome to FTE!
The rim part is available in 22.5" tubeless.
If you mean to convert to Budd style wheels, then you'd need hubs or axles.
Do you have air brakes?
Daytons did have widowmakers, the Goodyear K-28 as pictured here:

But you can still put the tubeless rims on them.
If your Daytons are something else like a split locking ring, those are not widowmakers and are serviceable. They must be handled correctly, but are far safer than the Firestone RH 5 degree wheel.

I learned something new, I was always under the impression there were no Dayton widowmakers......... I'll be darned.
I just picked up a set of 4 steel dayton 11 R 22.5 tubeless rims for $30 a piece. This is the replacement size for the old 20 x 10.00 tire. 11 R 22.5's are a common semi tire. Good used sets are fairly easy to find with enough tread left for what I will use around the farm.
Look up "Dayton 11 R 22.5 rims" on facebook marketplace and you will find a lot of rims at various prices. $50 is pretty common, I felt lucky to find a set of four for $30 each, close to home but if you are patient, deals are out there.
Good luck, Tim
