Ideally I have 'regular wheels' to get me to the track and then swap them over for the bigger ones.

What tyres are these??

Dunlop do some special 10x8 tyres - they can be fitted onto 10x9s according to Dunlop. These are just semi slicks or slicks I seem to remember. 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.

Indeed MrJ but what is the optimum scrub angle? I'm hardly clued up on geometry and would be interested to know because I can base my wheel size and offset on that then. Also say you have a 6" wide wheel with an ET of -7 and a 7" wide wheel with the same ET, does the scrub radius change? Own the day

The scrub radius is the distance in front view between the Steering Axis and the center of the contact patch where both would theoretically touch the road. The steering axis is the line between the top pivot point of the hub and the lower ball joint of the hub. On a MacPherson strut, the top pivot point is the strut bearing, and the bottom point is the lower ball joint. The inclination of the steering axis is measured as the angle between the steering axis and the centerline of the wheel. This means that if your camber is adjustable within the pivot points (i.e. Volkswagen) you can change the the scrub radius, this alters the width and offset of tyres you can safely run on your car.

yeah, i know that bit i was just, wondering if the centerline of the wheel changed if the offset was the same but the wheel was wider. therefore changing the scrub radius.

I have a set of those Dunlop 180/490/10 slicks mounted on some KAD 8x10" wheels.. When I bought them they told me they were special order but they sent them quite quickly.. I think they were over GBP100 a tire.

centerline of the tyre essentially the same as offset, Offset is merely the amount the centre line is from the fave that bolts to the hub. FFS....I knew this already so why the Fudge couldnt i think straight and realise that its OBVIOUS!!! *hangs head in shame* so to figure out the optimum offset (if you know the optimum scrub radius) you could measure from the hub face to the steering axis "point of intersection" and then work out what offset relaters to that measurement. please tell me that sounds right, otherwise i might go get a noose haha! even though this would more than likely be the resort taken after rose jointed suspension to reduce torque steer etc, im finiding it pretty interesting to research! |

Do what I did, back up your thought with a straight edge and ruler. Go out to your car and take some measurements, you will be able to get the wheel width and ofset you want bang on. Own the day
