Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.2 (8.0" axle width): Suitable for 8.0" to 8.25" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
• Size 5.6 (8.25" axle width): Slightly wider but works well for decks around 8.25", offering a stable setup.

General Guideline: Trucks with an 8.0" axle width (Independent 139 or Venture 5.2) are the best match for decks from 8.0" to 8.25", while 8.25" trucks (Independent 144 or Venture 5.6) offer a slightly wider stance for added stability.

Wheel Sizes

The Independent Trucks 139 Stage 11 Forged Hollow IKP Chrome Summit Silver Pair is optimized for wheels 54mm and under due to its 53.5mm height. Compatible wheel sizes for typical 8.0" to 8.25" decks include:

• 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating. Smaller wheels lower the center of gravity, enhancing control for flip tricks and grinds on ledges or rails. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.
• 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating. These wheels provide a mix of speed and maneuverability, perfect for most skaters using this truck size.
• 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with risers if needed to prevent wheelbite.
• General Guideline: For 8.0" to 8.25" decks with these trucks, 50-54mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 54-56mm wheels are better for park or transition skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
