What size trucks for an 8.6?

[winkyonswole]

I haven’t gotten a complete in like 4 years so im about to treat myself. I’ve really been thinking about sizing up to an 8.5. I found a 8.6 creature board that I’m in love with, only problem is that I’m stuck between chosing 149’s or 151’s. I’ve been riding 8.375 decks with 149 thunders for about 4 years as well. Since I skate mostly street I think the 149’s will suit me better. But, anyone ride 151’s with an 8.6? I’m sure that would be the better option for tranny but I just want to hear someone else’s opinion. The trucks that im getting with my complete will definitely be stage 11 hollow forged Indys. Any help or opinions are appreciated, thanks!

Indys 149 or 159 (I think 159 is better)
Thunder 149 or 151 (I think 151 is better) just to be sure that the truck won't be smaller
I don't like the truck being a little bit smaller than the deck, I don't mind if it's a little bigger. I'm currently riding a 6.0 tensor on 8.75" deck
I've also seen Kader ride 169s on a 8.8" deck which is a little bigger
I also think Riley Hawk rides 169s on an 8.5" deck

If you've been riding 149s on 8.38s then that's a little bit hot roddy. If you like that feel, go for the 151s on the 8.6.

Thanks to everyone for the help! I think imma just go with the 149’s because the 151’s will probably be a little too bulky for my style of skating.

just man up and get an 8.75 with some raw indy 169's, you'll thank me later

fuck the rest poosey

159s on an 8.75

149s are 8.5"

Creature deck is 8.6"

159s are 8.75"

You could go either way. At that size tho, I'd opt for Ti Indys.

Personally, I'd go for the 149s.
