To the best of my knowledge, the hubs between a 100mm and a 90mm axle are the 
exact same part.  The CV joint itself however is not, as its larger 
(including the internals).  I run 100mm axles and 9.4" non-vented brakes on my '81 to 
save a little rotating mass for racing, and have not had any problems to date.  
I have however had problems with brand new hubs not having the proper outside 
diameter and causing the wheel bearing to lock up once its all pressed 
together.  I don't remember who made the hubs, I wanna say Meistersatz, but I could 
be wrong.  In any event, they were "OEM German" units.  I sent them back to my 
supplier and got a whole new unit and all the parts for the wheel bearing 
free of charge... schweet! 

Good Luck
