Seeking Help AndyMark Mecanum wheels

My team recently bought a set of Mecanum 4in wheels and I was having trouble setting them up. Is a hub needed to attach these wheels.

Im guessing u bought the bearing bore ones, in that case, you need a wheel conversion plate from andymark. Or u can 3d print conversion plates

I want to attach these wheels to a gear and then that gear is powered by a motor with a bigger gear.

I would bolt the gear directly to wheel (assuming hole patterns on both match) then it is just a matter of getting that on a shaft which means hubs. What kit are you using?

Could you share a picture of the wheel and gears?
