Sector9 Kommi fit 150's?

Hey, I have a chance to get the above deck for $50 off craigslist but the only trucks I have are paris 150's. does anyone have any experience with this board that could tell me if they would work well?

the wheel cutouts don't seem to be designed to fit 150's, i don't really know of almost any dropthrough deck made for 150's. but if the deck is in good condition that sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Could I cut out my own personal shape though with a jigsaw? could someone transfer this to the building forum?

I have one. It's very prone to wheel bite, even with 180mm + trucks. Honestly, the best fit for that deck is Indy 215's.

I'm asking him for $65 with the 180 trucks (gullwings, couldn't afford randal or paris) he has. with that I could probably easily fit 180's with no wheelbite if 215's work well. maybe I could use a belt sander too... would that work you think?

for the record, 215s are actually 183mm or something. Don't be fooled.

the hanger also sits 1/2"-1" further up towards the nose creating more wheel clearence

^^^ Exactly. When I said they were the best fit, I wasn't talking about hanger width. Conventional trucks give you about an extra 2" of wheelbase. In regard to the Kommi, this extra few inches moves the wheels away from the wheel wells (front and back), which in turn gives you more clearance.
