A wheel hex would make it wider, but would not change the pivot positions.

so, you would have a wider car but the effect you get with a longer wishbone and the spacers will 'feel' quite differant.

think about truggy's were the early models just had massive offset spacers to give the wider stance whereas the newer generation have longer bones.

this would suggest the handling would be better with the longer arms, If elvo pops by he will explain properly but if you think about opening a door, the furthur from the pivot the less effort required to open it. or in our case the furthur we are from the pivot the less effort required to keep it closed. so in theory the shock will can be set softer to get the same handling over the rough stuff.

make any sense?
