Compatible Truck Sizes

The Slime Balls Chrome Light Ups OG Slime 66mm wheels are best paired with wider decks, typically 8.5" to 10.0", to match their larger size and width for cruising or old-school setups. Compatible truck sizes from Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks include:

Independent Trucks:

• Size 149 (8.5" axle width): Ideal for 8.5" decks, offering a balanced setup for cruising and park skating.
• Size 169 (10.0" axle width): Perfect for 9.0" to 10.0" decks, providing maximum stability for larger setups.

Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.8 (8.5" axle width): Suitable for 8.5" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
• Size 6.1 (8.75" axle width): Ideal for 8.75" to 9.0" decks, offering a stable setup for all-terrain skating.

General Guideline: For an 8.5" deck, trucks with an 8.5" axle width (Independent 149 or Venture 5.8) are the best match, while 10.0" trucks (Independent 169) suit wider 9.0" to 10.0" decks for added stability. Note that Venture does not offer a 10.0" axle width.

Wheel Sizes

The Slime Balls Chrome Light Ups OG Slime 66mm 78A wheels are included in this set and are ideal for cruising and all-terrain skating. If replacing with other wheels, the following sizes are compatible with typical 8.5" to 10.0" decks:

• 56-58mm: Ideal for park and hybrid street/transition skating, balancing speed and grip for carving and technical tricks.
• 58-60mm: A great choice for cruising and skateparks, offering faster rolls and momentum for smooth rides over rough surfaces.
