Oh, I can just imagine little hub notches ground out of every doorway, public, private, wherever he goes.
I wonder if that is a reason that many wheelchairs have angled wheels, so at least if the bottom part of the wheel goes through, it will push the chair over a little bit.
There are narrow front hubs, 70mm, 74mm, & 79mm, although I'm not sure about through axles.
However, in a sense, any sealed bearing hub could support a custom axle.
Wheels can be dished to the outside. Burley used to do that on many of their bike trailers.
Of course, that is a skill for someone who has built a few front and rear bicycle wheels already.
