Okay so knowing that changing the offset has an affect on the Scrub Radius (SR) I want to calculate the change, I need some vital information though, can anyone help with:
1. The stock EJ9 Kingpin Inclination
2. The stock EJ9 Scrub Radius
As a FWD car our EJ9's should be set-up with a negative scrub radius, the wheels I'm looking at are offset 35. So my scrub radius should be 10mm lower (less positive) with these wheels. As SR tends to 0 you decrease your steering feel so I want to make sure I go too low. Anyone with 35 offset wheels can feedback to me on this?

My 35et wheels tend to give a more live feedback to the steering as it tends to read the road more.

For a couple of years now I have been using the stock tyre size 185/60/14 comparing to the 185/55/14 that I used to for many years. For sure it is more economical and comfy, but on the other hand it is less agile when it comes to corners. It is something you get used to or if your tyre sidewalls are strong enough you don't notice the difference.
