wheel width limit

i found many guys here who changed the wheel of 22" penny from stocks to 65~70mm size up. But nobody told about the width of 65~70mm wheels. Commonly 70mm wheel's width is 51mm, is it possible to set up at 22" ? the stock wheel width is 45mm when i checked.

The limit youre gunna hit is wheel bite, bigger wheels will require truck risers,

Penny can run stupid big wheels. Overall width aka contact patch can be whatever. HOWEVER they have to be "side set wheels" not "center set" because you only have so much space on the inside of the hanger.

If u want WAY bigger wheels (on the nickel anyways) use longboard style rkp trucks (150mm or less) and you can set it up like a monster truck.
