| What's a good size for trucks on a board with a width of around 9-10"? |

| Guess it depends on the sort of wheels your using - I have modern style wheels on a nine inch deck (BDS Winged Skulls/ BDS Buddy Carr model) and use Indy 169s, but use the same trucks on another 9 incher (BDS Skull and Cane with old Slime Balls). Wider wheels may mean narrower trucks - unless you like having your wheels hang out the sides... comes down to a personal taste thing ultimately! |

I skate indy 149 on a 9in. deck, keeps the wheels tucked in just right.
But a 10in. deck I would go with 159, unless you like your wheels to stick out than its 169
That will be $5 please, thank you very much!  |

| Indy 169 for most wheels, 149 for wide wheels, 215 for deep choke wheels like Alva hardcores. |

| I ride 159's on both decks: an 8 3/4" with narrow wheels and a 10" with wide wheels. |

| No, just the new style 4 hole, but there's plenty of 6 hole base plates out there. |

| If you're looking for trucks for a cruising board, try Siesmics. |
