My understanding from the super tuners is basically, with track width constant, increasing or decreasing the length of the hubs can add or decrease bite or grip on turn in. Longer hubs more bite, shorter less. Sometimes referred to as altering the length of the working axle or spindle stub.
Using the hubs you have already, you may be able to accomplish about the same thing by increasing or decreasing track width accordingly. If you’re looking for fine tuning, then you may want to get different size hubs. That would be my suggestion. Oh yes, check the rules on track width limits as well.
Hope that helps.

I’d also suggest you get a spare set of studs, so if threads do get stripped, you can simply replace the studs. In fact, replacing the studs every season is good preventive medicine to deal with metal fatigue. (Over-cautious probably, but studs are cheap.)
Brett – I have 3 sets of 50mm hubs, all different widths, to be used to tune as described above.
Two of the sets are factory CRG magnesiums, the third a trick set of aluminums designed and manufactured by our local Welch family back when they had their own chassis.
The mags have been on a kart for one race weekend, the aiums on and off a 206 a half dozen times max.
Let me know if you are interested and we and we can work something out. I’m up in Interlocken area often.
Pic added – FYI, the shorter ones are $83 each new, the longer ones $99 each new. That’s $360 in the CRG hubs, plus the Shockwave hubs.
Looking to get $200 for the package.
