randal 180's+gumballs=wheelbite

[wumbo6]

So i've had a set of randal 180's sitting in my room for about 3 months screaming my name. So when i mounted them on my board with my gumballs i am getting a mad case of wheel bite. i put 3/8 risers on it and i still get it. I am still using the stock yellow bushings that came with it. Can somebody please help me out? could this be solved with more risers?(not sure if hardware goes longer than 1 1/2) harder bushings?
the board looks like this

thanks

i say smaller wheels


but if you cant do that, try some 1/2 in risers. if the hardware isnt long enough, go to a hardware store and buy some 10-32 machine screws in 2 in.

There's a few problems coming together here.

There's a very good chance that the wheel wells are in the wrong spot for randals.
you can fix this by either enlarging your wells or by re-drilling your deck holes.

76mm is beginning to head into cut-out land. I.E. the wells go through the board.

Risers can fix this too. but you will gain ride height. and end up with quite a high deck.
The bonus though is you'll have a ton of leverage over the hanger, which could make for nice carving.

i don't have this problem, then again i have it on a vanguard.

I've used R-180s and Gumballs on my Fleetwood with 1/2" risers and still ate sidewalk from an unexpected case of wheelbite. That board needs 5/8" of riser at least, but it has no cut-outs

From now on, my rule of thumb is no wheels that big without wheel wells or a board that narrows at the trucks. 70mm max!

If you have that board, with cutouts, 1/2" should cure ya. Don't go with harder bushings - I don't believe in compromising your carve to keep the board lower.... but that I guess depends on your needs.

I have that board. Don't put anything larger than 70mm. That is what someone told me. Or you can cut bigger wheel wells or make the board sit higher.

or use revenge trucks !
no riser, no wheelbite...
