Historically it has not been enforced like that. Guys have pushed the envelope with parts and have gotten away with it. Some have been challenged at the track by tech officials, then the challenger is overruled. So the positive manner enforcement, is not being held up everywhere.
Sounds like roller bearings are the issue, not the size of the base circle/bearing journal.
