Answer 1

dude thats perfect. i love plan b and tensors are my favorite. and yes those r the right size.

for street skating get a smaller wheel - 54mm and under. the smaller the better.

the hardware wont matter. theyre all the same size and they fit all skateboards. they have them at skateshops.

www.blackholeboards.com   its a good site - they have the most selection and are the cheapest. they should have what your looking for

Answer 2

thats a good size and tensor trucks are really good I would get shortys hardware those are really good

Answer 3

Your deck is good, and Tensor trucks are a good brand. Just make sure your trucks fit 7.5 decks - you don't want them hanging over.

If your just beggining, you probably want around a 51mm wheel -  Anything bigger and you might get wheel bite. When you progress, you could try a smaller, lighter wheel as these are better for flip tricks, but have less balance.

Hardware generally comes as a one-size-fits-all standard, however, you can often choose from allen bolts or star bolts. Personally I'd get the star bolts, they are easier to s***w and unscrew.
