Default SPE 26cc prop size question?

I've used 18 size props and the center hub is the same size as the hub on the SPE26. I'm not getting the RPM's I want and would like to try a 16 size prop, but the center hub is smaller then the hub on the SPE26. Will this harm the motor? Or as long as I don't over RPM it, it well be ok?

I recall using a 16 X 8 Menz wood on mine. No harm or over-revving with this prop.

From the SPE site it says:
Thrust
12.1 lbs (7400 rpm)

RPM
2,000~9,400

Prop Recommend
16X8 - 18X10 (recommend 18X8)

If you choose to run a 18 inch prop on it, make it a Mezjlik...18x6. The Zenoah 26 really likes this prop, but I am not sure how this engine compares in power. I would suggest the APC 17x6 to start with

Thanks for the advice. No comments on the center hub size.
