We've got 2.5mm under the ballstud on the alloy hubs. That's the minimum amount of shims you can put in with the stock length ballstud, though you could dremel a bit off the end if you want to lower it some more.
Another note on the aluminum hubs- we have the Tresrey clamping hexes on both buggies, and when I tried to tighten the wheel I got some serious binding. After a bit of fiddling with shims I found that placing 3 silver and 1 copper shims (the ones found in the package with the Tresrey hubs) inside the outer bearing acts like a crush tube and allows you to tighten it up with no bind at all. I'll measure the thickness of the shim stack next time it all comes apart, but that should help anyone having the same issue get it resolved.
