Wide single kick setup - please help!

Hey guys im planning on setting up a 10inch santa cruz or vision board. The width at the back where the trucks sit is 8.5 and wider at the front. (tapered in at the back)

Do you think it would ride bad if i were to put an indy 149mm at the back and a 169mm at the front? Just so the wheels dont stick out at the back.

What do you reckon???

The width of the truck doesn't affect the turning circle. Different width at the front and back won't be a problem, though its not necessarily a good idea either.

What does affect the turning circle is the truck angle, and plenty of people ride with a bigger turning circle at the back. That's the whole idea behind boards like the Evo, not to mention any slalom setup.

I cant afford to buy 169s so im gonna buy a gravity arrogent bastard 33 x 9.25 and put a set of my 149s on it. How do tsunamis go with sliding at the park? Like doing reverts and stuff, if you know?
