I figure this place would be the right place to ask. Has any of you tried ace33's on a 8.75-9'' deck? I'm contemplating on some polar deck with wheels wells and like 51mm wheels to get a real good magic carpet ride feel.
But why?
I don't like trucks wider than 8'' it messes up my grinds. Also I think it could look cool and more room to land is good too.
I was going to say earlier that it feels more like a "T" as in big wide top down to very narrow bottom, so the board tends to tip over more easily. Quite a few kids often sized up decks without getting anything else, so they were all riding the narrow trucks from their stock Christmas completes, only now on wider decks, almost like it was a competition to have the widest board. It is not uncommon for 8.5 on those 8.0 trucks, which is about as wide as I would recommend, but bigger boards are less maneuverable too.
Even some pros (Ishod) ride more narrow trucks to avoid having the wider truck feel and slip out from rails and the like, but I don't think any ride it to that extreme, eg 8.0 inch trucks on 8.3 deck.
Try it and see. Good luck!!!
