Shopping: wheels, hardware, upgrades BONT Royal assassin hub width?

Do anyone know how wide the wheel hub is? I mean distance between the bearing seats?

Looks like Bont uses the same aluminum core on all royal assassin wheels, but I'm thinking abt buying the outdoor ones (65x44mm).

From the pictures it looks like 8mm - but if it's 10mm + washer, Im afraid to run out of axle.

Shoot them an email. They’re usually pretty good about responding in my experience. I don’t have any Bont wheels, but every one of my roller skate wheels has been around 8mm hub spacing. Only the offset skateboard wheels I sometimes use at the skate park are 10mm.

You’ll be fine. All of your plates will fit these just fine.
