As a side note make sure you use a solid bearing spacer to lock the bearing pre-load.
In alum hubs this a must you "might" get away with not doing it on steel hubs.
X2 on the bearing spacers! Well worth the $120 or so as the bearings will run extremely cooler with much less drag. I've seen 80-100F cooler with spacers on an oval track car; difference in drag can be measured with a inch/pound torque wrench much like checking pinion preload. This was on several Speedway Motors full floaters, but I doubt if there was much difference from a Speedway Engrg one. All had Winters steel hubs.
