You should be safe with 54mm wheels. As I get used to mine, I have been slowly upping the wheelsize, no risers. Currently on 53mm conical fulls with Ace 55, but I'm 100kg. I could probably get away with a 54mm classic shape.
On 44s, you should theoretically get less bite from the same wheel size. So you should be safe with 54mm of any shape if you're under 200lbs and not a ham foot.
I complain off and on about Ace wheelbite, but the fact is the only time I experience wheelbite, is when I'm turning too hard anyways, like a ridiculous turn radius that no other truck could even get to. And obviously when you land off the corner too hard but that happens on any loose truck. It's becoming a non issue, and I haven't even started making my own wheel wells..yet.
