First I would get the hubs matched up because if they are different sizes that can lead to uneven wear of the tires and suspension components. Not to mention you would have to buy two sets of replacement parts all the time. But if the 2 hubs are on two different axles, that makes more sense.
We have a lot of options for the 1.98 size. I have included a link to them on the right. For just a regular set use # BB1980A.
The 2.13 is more difficult because it is in between sizes. If you can tell me what the outer bearing number is I can determine if we have a set that will fit. You can check the outer bearing number without removing the hub. Just get to the point where you have access to it and wipe away the grease, the number will be stamped into the metal.
Or you will need to use a set of dial or digital calipers to measure the hub opening. The measurement has to be as accurate as possible so using calipers is a must.
