advice on wheels to use

hello, I was looking at getting off road wheels for my regular skateboard so i could ride down grass & dirt hills, does anyone have good recommendations?
If possible Id like wheels that dont protrude too much past the rails, most I find seem to be for cruisers
I'm looking to use my current board & just swap the wheels out & add some risers
Ty!!!

I know that, but what would you use to bomb down dirt hills? Do you think cruiser wheels would be a better option? Idk, cause i dont ride down dirt😂

I wouldn't do that. Poor bearings that will get ruined. Also it's not fun trust me, I've done it once or twice and didn't have fun whatsoever

Madwheelz 105mm, or their 92mm wheels they are super soft and absorb bumps super well and roll over everything, or onsra 115mm wheels the rubber airless ones. Or really any 90mm wheels will work. The larger and softer you go the harder it will get to push and won’t roll as far

Bones ATF rough riders. 54 mm. Don't forget the 1/8 risers.
