if you don't skate lows, if you skate lows with 54mms then prepare to slam

As long as your trucks and you use riser pads with lows then no I always use tight trucks and no riser pads and I have never gotten wheelbite

I have risers and hi trucks and I still get wheelbite sometimes (with 55 wheels, but I would get it on 54s too). I have loose trucks though.

If wheelbiting is a significant problem without risers the risers aren't going to completely take it away, just minimise it a little.

tighten your trucks, should do the trick
or get that black label board

i used loose trucks and no riser pads for a while with no problems, you should be fine. I have never once had my board completely stop because of wheelbite

i skate lows with no risers and 50mm wheels and i dont get wheel bite. My trucks are about medium loose too. When I use my 53mm wheels i get a ton of wheelbite so its the little things than can make a difference
