I've got a set of 'old' (pre size mark on the hanger) 149 Titaniums. I ride them fairly lose with 52mm wheels. On the first deck wheel bite was anoying. But that was never an issue again after I switched to a deck with wheel wells. (Sorry that I keep bringing wheel wells up again in conncetion with Thunders, but they make a difference. And you might have the pleasure to ride a Hjalte deck with wells.)

Thunder+wheel wells (if you don't want to deal with risers) is the way; I rode many a polar w/well with thunders until they discontinued the 31.875 825 for the 32" =(

really dumb question, but do wheel wells alter the pinch at all?

You can pinch even harder, make that hanger turn 90°
