Ideally the pivot of the steering should be in the centre of the wheel , if it's designed that way in the first place then if you increase the offset with extending the hex hub further out then you should then use wheels with an offset that corrects it , in the real world unless your a pro driver you won't notice it and with a Zerda or 44b then the steering is so far from perfect geometry with the track rods odd length , angled steeply and with that type of servo saver that your really not going to notice 4 or 5mm .
I've done some comparison of offset with a mocked up knuckle with two bearings and looked at the alignment of the kingpin hole. Strangely the zerda setup of original wheel seems to have the inner edge of the tyre aligned with the kingpin and the GV beagle has the same. The mocked up knuckle with a 12mm hex wheel would have that same alignment. By pure accident my cobbled together 12mm hex adapter and cheap wheels did achieve alignment of the king pin with centreish of the tyre.
Bottom line is would you give me a rough idea of price for four hub/steering knuckle extenders? I'm envisaging just 4mm of the bearing holding part of the knuckle with the screw holes and use longer screws to retain the bearing and extender.
I'll do a rough sketch if it helps.
This would be just if you feel like doing it as a curious exercise.
Might be a futile attempt to remove some wobble of single bearing hubs. And the snug fit of 11mm cup of the tamiya axle I'll test just sanding out enough knuckle to allow free running with a bit of grease almost like a third bearing.
