Default Three piece carbon wheel question

Might be a question for the wheel and tire section but maybe you guys will have some opinion on this. I've got some of the off-road korea three piece carbon wheels. My question is this. The center ring of the three rings is the one that has the holes for bolting it to the hub, with this set up they are very wide on the bully 2 axles with the hubs that I have. I'll buy shorter hubs if I have to but what i was wondering is if I could move the center ring to the outside and put the outer ring in the center which would narrow my track by an inch which is about where I want to be. Just didn't know if maybe anyone has tried this. Hope my description of what I'm wanting to do isn't to confusing

Can't you get different spacers to put the face ring where you want it, short one between the outer ring and the face ring and longer one behind that to the rear ring?

Guess I could but I don't have spacers and if just moving the rings around would work I would do it tonight so I could have a little better setup tomorrow. And I'm cheap and this way would be free. But I would have to unglue the tires. Haven't done that before is it a pain?

I guess you could try it, should work. How much glue you used around the ring will determine how big of a pain it will be, I've used an X-acto knife and slowly cut it away. I hear you can heat it up but don't know if that would delaminate the CF or not.

Or use a longer screw and put both spacers behind the face ring.
