| well, they're only great on professional trucks imo, unless you have shaped wides, but otherwise the RVs got rid of every problem oak have imo, now they're super nice.  |

| no i mean like hand shaped so the ends taper like BRR trucks, don't think bollie 3s are thin enough for oaks. might be wrong, someone confirm that. |

Well I don't mean to hate on Oak but I still have an issue with Oak RVs where the wheels leave truck axles exposed as opposed to other wheels where the edge covers the axle. This is the only problem I have with Oaks and besides that, they're great. |

I'm almost positive thats right Kerry, because I emailed Mike Schneider about this and he responded with "I don't think they work well with anything other than Y Trucks or BRR Trucks." |

| I think if you use washers with them they will be fine with wides. |
