Skateboard Trucks Size Charts – Find the Perfect Fit for Your Deck 

Are your trucks on the list?

Choosing the right skateboard truck size is key for stability, turning and control. Trucks that match your deck width ensure balanced feel, fewer wheel bites and optimal performance across street, park or bowl skating. Our size charts cover popular brands like Independent, Thunder, Venture, Slappy, ACE, Lurpiv and Mini Logo so you can find the perfect setup fast.

A proper skateboard truck setup starts with matching truck width to deck width. The general rule is that your truck axle width should be as close as possible to your board width — ideally within a few millimeters — so your wheels don’t stick out too far or sit too far inside the deck edges, which can impact balance and tricks.

Correct sizing ensures:

• Better stability at speed

• More predictable turning response

• Reduced risk of wheel bite during tricks

• Balanced weight distribution underfoot

Quick Size Reference (General Rules)

• Measure your deck width in inches.

• Choose trucks whose axle width closely matches your deck.

• Trucks slightly narrower than the deck can offer snappier turning; slightly wider trucks increase stability.

• Most sizing systems (Independent metric, Venture/ACE inch) aim to align with this deck width range.

Tips for Better Truck Setup

• Looser trucks give quicker turning and smoother carves.

• Tighter trucks improve stability at speed and during heavy landings.

• Check your bushing hardness and adjust tightness based on your style.
