| Hey guys, So I've been wanting to get some BRT's for awhile now, but recently I've started riding 32mm quite a bit. My question is, if I got regular BRT's would they look/feel weird on a 32? |

| Yeah, what the others said haha But if you didn't see, they work fine but it feels so much nicer with 32mm trucks but 29mm's on a 32mm deck work alright |

| I saw this thread title and assumed you meant 29mm deck and 25mm trucks.
There are also some tricks into making your wheels more spaced apart and giving you more effective width of the trucks/wheels. I use dual microwashers on the back of each wheel and a normal wheel washer in front of each wheel. As microwashers are relatively expensive ($3 for a set of 8 compared to standard wheel washers ~$1 for a set of 4) and also difficult to buy (I've only seen them at No Comply and Redemption), you can also substitute microwashers for a thinly cut piece of pivot cup.
Fanny Hymen Danny Hynam also has some modified Blackriver Trucks with a reduced width achieved by removing the axles, filing down the hangers and axles and then replacing the axles. |

| The main question is, if you already have 32mm decks, why wouldn't you just buy brt wides instead if regulars? |

| I think as long as they are not Tech Deck trucks you should be fine. |
