149s used to be 8.25" until they decided to nix the 159 (which was 8.5") and just make the 149 8.5". But I guess at the end of the day, it's not that big of a difference.

I can't stand looking down and seeing my wheels sticking out farther than the edges of my board.

139s on an 8.25 feels lovely to me
i saw my grandma bail off a 4 set once in my house and she even got up and came to red lobster after.
get wasted and pass out.
Wide trucks are great. I don't give a shit about wheels sticking out or not. I am riding a 7.5 with 8 inch venture lows and it is such a negligible difference.
i cant beleive some of you are down for 149s on a board smaller than 8.5. thats the worst shit having your wheels sticking out. indy should bring back the 159s and make 149s 8.25 again.
how is the body hollow ?

I ride them on an 8.1 having the nuts flush with the axel and i don't notice it at all. i'd say they are perfect for an 8.25 but not wide enough for an 8.5 board.
