Compatible Wheel Sizes

The Powell Peralta SSF PRO Kevin Reimer 72mm 75A Green wheels are designed for 8.6" to 9.0" decks with trucks like Independent 159 (8.75" axle width). For alternative wheels with similar performance, consider the following sizes from Powell Peralta and Orangatang:

Powell Peralta:

• SSF Kevin Reimer 72mm 75A (Purple): Less grippy than SSF PRO, better for smoother freeride slides with similar durability.
• SSF Kevin Reimer 72mm 77A (Yellow): Firmer for more controlled slides, suited for technical freeriding on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.

Orangatang:

• Beefcake 73mm 80A (Orange): Softer with a rounded lip, ideal for smoother slides on similar setups.
• Beefcake 73mm 83A (Purple): Harder for faster rolls, compatible with 8.6" to 9.0" decks.

General Guideline: For 8.6" to 9.0" decks with Independent 159 trucks, 70-73mm wheels with 75A to 83A durometers are optimal. The 72mm 75A SSF PRO (Green) excels in grip for racing, while 77A or 80A wheels offer durability for freeriding. Use risers with wheels over 70mm to avoid wheelbite.

Deck and Truck Compatibility

The Powell Peralta SSF PRO Kevin Reimer 72mm 75A Green wheels are optimized for decks 8.6" to 9.0" and pair well with:

• Independent Trucks 159 (8.75" axle): Ideal match for 8.6" to 9.0" decks, balancing stability and turning.
• Venture Trucks 6.1 (8.75" axle): Provides similar stability for freeride and street setups.
• Independent 149 (8.5" axle): Narrower for agile setups on ~8.6" decks, requires risers to prevent wheelbite.

General Guideline: Use 1/8" to 1/4" risers with 72mm wheels on 8.6" to 9.0" decks to avoid wheelbite, especially with grippy 75A wheels. High-quality bearings (e.g., Bones Reds) boost roll speed for downhill and freeriding. Avoid rough sidewalks, as the 75A SSF PRO may chunk on abrasive surfaces.
