Thought's on 55's on 8.38? Too much over hang? Anyone running this that can post a pic?
Shortage of raw 44's has my tempted to buy 55's and force them to work. I am used to 8.5 in truck on 8.25 decks.
Just set up blue 44's (not big on color'd trucks) on 8.25 not quite as wide as I'm used to with my 5.8 Ventures, which may be contributing to some of my dislike and also why I keep trying to make ACE work. Also not really wanting to go up to 8.5 or larger cause I still want to flip my board.
Trucks .62” wider than the board seem like too much. Obviously you can do math, most likely better than I, for comparison that would be similar to a 7.88” deck with 149s.
I’ve done 159s on 8.25 and liked it. 159s on 8.38 is cool.
I guess if you really wanted to justify trying it, ACE has really long axles, so you could use thin wheels, and place them right against the hanger.
I’ve got some lightly used 44s, raw, that I could be down to trade for 5.6s, 6.1s, 161s.
I skated my my setup with the 44s yesterday. I am able to flip my board much better with ace and taller wheels.
