Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I was wondering about running 3 washers on the inside of my 55's in an attempt to make them fit a bit more like some 60's would on an 8.75 deck.
Does that make any sense lol? I know it's not possible to make the hanger itself longer, but my thinking is that pushing the wheels out a couple mm on each end will bring me closer to a truer fit/less magic carpet on the 8.75 and expose a lil more hanger. Is that how this works? This is my first time messing with more washers than usual, in fact I usually have one or fewer and lots of play in the wheel. @Mbrimson88 8 know you do this with 149 indys. My goal is to make transition feel a little better as I struggle with backside grinds when I have magic carpet happening.
Yeah, as others said, put as many as will fit and see how that goes. I found that I could fit maybe four or more on the Ace trucks I have and they still worked well, compared to three max on other brand hangers / axles like Indy, Thunder and Venture.
It definitely helps "widen" out the trucks a bit more too, for setups or trucks that are not quite as wide as you might like.
The inverted nuts does work well too, after trying it on some other trucks with big wide wheels, so the nuts sit inside the line of the wheel, but you can do it with any wheel / truck combo really - just watch the nuts don't get you in the shin or anything like that.
At least any and all of these options are easy to try, don't mess up the setup and can easily be changed out, so it is not like you are altering anything permanently, which is always good.
