Trucks for a 8.25

[gnarwhale]

i need some help picking what trucks to use for my 8.25 deck i have 149 thunders, 147 low thunder, or a set of 139 independents, i know theyd all fit the board, but i was wondering which ones people woudl suggest for me i like fairly loose trucks adn i skate allot of tranny but still street, im on the 147 thunders right now,

[camel filters]

I'd say 147s personally. 149 just stick out a teeny bit; but thats enough to fuck with my head. trucks just a hair narrower than my board makes me feel like i have more control on any terrain. but thats just one opinion.

[sleepypancakes]

Whatever feeeeels right maaaaaaaaan

Ace 44's will be perfect

[bust.factor]

thunder 149s are 8.25 inches exactly

[myles.]

8.25 deck + indy 49's = perfection

[gnarwhale]

Ace 44's will be perfect

[bbk]

thunder 149s are 8.25 inches exactly

aren't both indy and thunder 149's about 8.5?

[samsk8]

p-rod ventures 5.25 @ 8.2 inches wide. if u like em light then i recommend these.

[clamy]

8.25/8.38 and indy 139s with bones bushings is the perfect combination.

[mariomister]

i think 149
any brand are ok.
but i'll say indy.
also i'm courius on the new venture5.8 i think they are rad.
if someone used it let me know.

theeve makes a truck with an 8.25 axel. thunder and indy 149's are 8.5

[brownjenkin]

I've gone up to 8.25 with 139s and I've loved it. Feels a bit wobbly, but I like it that way. Makes my board feel flippy-er. 149s will feel much more stable. The wheels will pretty much be flush with the board, but the nuts/axles will stick out 1/8 of an inch on either side.

[no thanks]

139 indys, anything over 8.25 get 149s

[sufodiv]

149s. I recently went down to an 8.0 in put on some indy 139s and am hyped.

[myrrh]

8.25 deck + indy 49's = perfection

Amen

+ bones though.

[chumlee]

ACE 44's

[Deekay]

Indy 139's, ah yeaahh..

But like someone said, Thunder 149 is exactly 8.25 in widht so if thats all you worried about then go for that.

[DaSk8D00D]

Ventures 5.8 doin me pretty good right now. same size as thunder 149's

Thunder 149s are 8.25 whereas indy 149s are 8.5 inches. Used to think the same too!

my tape measure and thunder 149 hollows disagree. they are 8.5"

just set up indy 149's on a 8.25 and they fit perfect and its really not noticeable enough to get annoying and they feel so much better, throw some medium bones in and your set

[TFUCKINA]

so would indy 149's work on an 8.06-8.18? cause the 139's seem too narrow, idk dont wanna spend the money and not like em. suggestions?

i wouldnt do it. seems like thats on some monster truck shit and i just wouldnt be able to deal with it.

[Archers of Chaka]

its all about preference. I have a friend who uses indy 149s on 8 inch boards cause he likes the feel.

Was on the thunder 147 highs with a 8.25 deck for years, just switched to theeve 5.5 on my 8.25 like it just as much. Got a but confused with the 4 different sizes as they make a 5.0 for below 7.75, 5.25 for 7.75 to 8, 5.5 for 8 to 8.25 and a 5.85 for above 8.25. But as said before the bones bushings are a damn plus to have on the trucks, I was so used to thunder and the 145 to 149 system.
