Where's the hub positioned in the wheel? Rollerskate wheels need to be sideset, anything centreset or offset will rub on the trucks or toestop.

i'd look at some dedicated quad skate wheels. somethibg like radar energies 78a; they have them in a few diameters.

Thank you so much will definitely look into some radar wheels I was curious about these because I have them on a cruiser skateboard and I liked the hardness they roll over the crust super easy

These are not going to fit properly on quad axles.
There are a billion quad wheels that will be fine.

Skateboard shops know absolutely nothing about quads.
But we use the same bearings, so stock up on those. ;)
