Are the axle bolts long enough? Or will doing this result in damage to the hub(with their self-adjusting bearings and what-not) or just having too little thread inside the hub itself.
I'll look at the bolts on the New Sheriff hubs we just got in at the shop but I'm pretty sure you'd have no trouble with a 3mm spacer on each side. If they are too short, you could easily replace the bolts with longer ones.
