I'm very curious why you want to use a 10" rim instead.  :)

the reason is because I put a new motor in the scoot and its a short case that can only use 10 inch rim.So it would be nice to have a smaller front to match. Plus I might gain speed.

There are variations in bearing inside and outside sizes, outside standard metric sizes. A bearing house for industrial customers may be able to fit the hole in the smaller wheel and fit the two different sizes on the axle.
