Cheers for the comments guys.
Long board wheels are ra*e, £30 minimum. Which is alot considering the skate board and bolts have probably totalled less than £20. Tempted to buy to sets so I can have 80mms on the rear and 74ish on the front.
That said I think long board trucks might be slightly wider for epic stance. Oh and speaking of stance Ive spun my front wheels so the dish is on the inside meaning that the front is about an inch narrower than the rear.
I dont think 55mm wheels (only an extra 2.5mm clearance) would really help and I still wouldnt have useable steering.
Edit; Matt good luck with the M4 I think youll just twist and snap them. I could get M6 bolts through my std M4 holes they were that slack as standard, I only drilled it so that they slid through rather than screwed through. I will cut my bolts down once ive worked out the spacings. TBH could even go domed nuts for a proper smooth look.
