I’ve been tempted to put Indy 169 on my krooked sweatpants deck, can anyone confirm if the wheels would be visible from the top on the rear truck? 159’s seem just a bit smalll.
Always an individual choice, but there are way more Indy 169s, Thunder 161s or Ace Classic 55 / AF1 66s than other smaller trucks on setups in this thread and on here in general. Search "Sweatpants" for some good pics of both top and bottom views, the top view doesn't show any wheel at all showing.
I would say go with 169s with any more regular or normal shaped wheels, or 159s with big wide ass wheels, but that is just me.
Most of the shaped 9.5 to 10" boards I have skate way better on 169s, or other approximately 9" wide trucks, taking the shape and taper into account.
* Sweatpants is 9.3 over the far front bolts and 8.8 over the far back bolts, but I don't get a lot of wheel showing at all, even with the Radial Full wheels when lined up to that shape board.
