Scrub Radius on a 2018 tiguan
For years i have changed wheels and never think i ever really thought or heard about Scrub radius.
So Im looking at my new rims and Ive decided to go 9.5. But Im stuck on the offset. Luckily i can choose the offset on the rims im getting.
If I do 30, that makes the most sense to me. The inside of tyre moves minimal towards the strut. But, according to a wheel calculator i have been using, it has a positive scrub radius change of about 8mm. If i do 35 it move the wheel about 10mm towards strut but only changes the scrub radius by about 3mm. We were going to compromise and do 32.
Is this wheel scrub variation of +8mm (or 3mm on the 35 offset) really something to be really concerned about on a 4motion. Like i said i dont think i ever knew about it before. But I admit my cars have always been RWD.
This is the current wheel to strut.
