Hello,
I've been doing research on what wheel and tire fitment to go with for my FK7 and I am a bit confused with scrub radius. I am using www.wheel-size.com for checking custom offsets and have narrowed down to two different fitments that works for me (as little modifications as possible, with stock suspension and no spacers...).
235/40R18 18x8.5 45mm
First one is the "safe" route (I think?) But there's barely anyone running this offset based on Fitment Industries' Gallery.
235/40R18 18x8.5 35mm
Second one is what I see a lot of people running on Fitment Industries' Gallery.
The scrub radius from the 35mm offset is Positive 10mm, which through some reading around and research, could cause the tires to scrub the ground as it turns and cause more wear and reduce tire life.
My question is: How come so many people are running the 35mm offset when the positive scrub radius will cause more wear? Why not stick with the 45mm offset so the scrub radius is zero?
Would be great if someone can clarify or give suggestions on the fitment!
Thanks
