With regards to wheel-span, the wheels should never extend past the edge of the board. Placing the wheels even with the board will, however, help with [[Rail Whip]]s because it lessens deck drag. [[Bob Loftin]] recommends an optimal wheel-span somewhere around 1/8" to 1/4" narrower than the [[Deck]]. It is all a matter of preference, but this range can provide better rail stability. Just try some different settings and see which configuration works best for you. | With regards to wheel-span, the wheels should never extend past the edge of the board.
