i installed another set of wheels on daughter cadet, and i left the small hubs on axle, and the offset is different so rear widht is 1 " shorter..

Now axle Stiffeness is unchange since hubs did not go inwards, but im 1" shorter, how will it affect handling VS older wheels and pushing rear hubs .5" each side.

Will have the same affect as stiffening the axle, just not as much as if you were to actually narrow the rear track width.

Will give the kart a bit more "dig" and more rear side bite.
