ok i wanna buy a uni that has 71mm center-flange to center flange distance and a flange diameter of 66mm. Will i be able to switch out the hub with a hub that is 75mm center-flange to center-flange and a flange diameter of 65.5mm???? (without getting new spokes)

its probably the same hub
EDIT:sorry if that seems rude

i doubt it... if not ... what size rim are you lacing? as long as its not a wacko size (or 19"😉 you shouldn't have a problem going to your LBS and getting some new spokes

hmm 5mm to the side ... .5 mm shorter ~7.5"spokes
make a trianglefrom the center of the hub to the axle area... then to the rim, don't worry about the flange distance, it is probably exactly the same and figure out the difference in hypotenuses theres if its smaller than .15 or so inches you should be fine
