Hopefully at least 14.75”. It sounds stupid, but that extra 0.25” makes a difference, especially if you skate trucks with the axles set closer to the centre of the board!
My preferred wheel base is the deck width plus 6", up to a max wheelbase of 14.63.
8" -> 14" 8.25" -> 14.25 8.5" -> 14.5" 8.75 and up -> 14.63"
The trucks I often run on 8" boards (Thunder) add more to the wheelbase than the Ace I run on the big boards. On the middle size boards I often run Indy or Mini Logo.
Axle to axle isn't all that much different on my smaller to bigger setups.
Alright...when are powell peralta products going to be available again? I usually buy from tactics and they’ve been out of everything (except shirts and stickers) for months!
they are working on it they are insanely backed up but things are getting shipped out just gonna have to be patient or go to ebay but i ordered a shirt like i think 2 weeks ago and got it in 2 days so just hang in there
i think my wheels are just as good as the stfs if u live in the u.s. u can get some and try them out i am almost out of wheels though so got some dope stuff coming down the pipeline once they are gone and my 53s are not in that shape so dont know if ur pressed about that or not but i still got a stack of 53s regardless and my street wheels are basically the v3 shape and come in 51,52,53 and 54 (very limited on 54s)
pavementwheels.ecrater.com just to give u a heads up a friend of mine just bought 8 sets of wheels but i put up the stock number on the page p.s. 1 set of 53mm left
@myren i wouldnt wait too long though cause im basically down to my last 4 sets of wheels so if u want them then u better get them asap as a shop in washington state is gunning after them so first come first serve if u want me to reserve them for u then better let me know asap

for the longer wheelbase. His OG was pretty worn and he is keen for the reish!
