Do you think it would be fine to drill new holes somewhere along where I marked?

Doing that means I will need to move the motor pulley further out as well?
You could flip it, the motor pulley, might give u .25 inches of clearance

IMHO no, it would not, unless you know what’s going in inside that composite OR you added more composite, in the latter case it’d be better to just rebuild the whole ends (as @glyphiks did)
It MIGHT be okay but without knowing how this is internally, it’s hard to say. It could be light foam with a thin carbon skin at some of those locations, or it could be carbon covered wood or it could be solid carbon composite, you just don’t know.
Can you find any photos on the internets of this deck broken or cut open?

I will check but it is quite heavy, doubt there’s a lot of foam, if any at all…

Smaller wheels will solve it. Not really the right deck shape for pneumys on rkp.

You could try paris v3 baseplates. They have more wheelbase offset than most rkp baseplates, though im not sure if it will be enough.
If it were me, I’d sell those and get @Savage1 tkps which are confirmed to fit and are a great riding truck
Don’t drill that deck

Two bits of really good advice there.

As someone who isn’t even the biggest fan of TKP, I would still recommend this also.

Very expensive and I JUST got these trucks, bought used 
I’ll first try and make them work, see how they ride.

Fair enough!
I’d say the best option is a wheelbase extension bracket as @amanuelamanuel showed, though it should be aluminum/steel.

Definitely.

Or carbon fiber, waterborne sells a good one.
Yes. Shout out to @LEE who first warned me about this. My dumb ass would have probably have tried 3d printed and accidentally self deleted on first ride

Put urethane wheels on it and start your second build.

I have surfrod tkps for sale that would 100% fix your problem without risking drilling new holes. Since they extend the effective wheel base the axles and thus wheels are farther apart from the deck. You could probably even mount them drop through and it would have an awesome low ride height.
One more reason to buy them - I installed boardnamics solid axle and rest fitted everything with TB AT wheels, and it works great - the perfect amount of axle on them.

Is there a limit to how long an extender can be?
