I was looking for small diameter hubs and the smallest diameter I found were .370". Does anyone make smaller? I was hoping for .350" x .750-.810 width.
Thanks for the help!
Smallest 3/32" hub size?

If I could remember where I left my memory ..... but I kinda, sorta, think Kelly used to make some 0.320s.
But I think that was a dozen (or so) years ago.
I think Kelly is doing a relaunch of their tire lineup. No idea what that lineup will look like. Maybe Danny Zona can chime in.

At one time Mid America made some tiny 32 hubs in both 2mm & 3/32. I think they were 8mm Ø.=.315"

Looked in my wheel boneyard and found some small ones.
All are less than .350 and some are about .320.
Some are perfect matches, some not.
Let me know if you want them, free. Just postage.

All other variables equal, what does a small vs a big diameter hub do for handling?
The only thing I can think is "spring rate" for a bumpy track?

Yes it gives you a chance to tune with the side wall of the tire. I have been experimenting with super glueing the side walls. It's like adjusting the rear spring but keeping the slip of the tire the same as it was with the use of the larger hub.
