Here is a diagram to show how a bigger-diameter tire will change the scrub-radius...I have wheels that are 38 mm offset (8 mm inset from stock) + 1" larger diameter front tires- almost no kick-back thru the steering wheel.

Thank you. Where did you find that drawing !?
I have the one of the rear but have never seen the front.
Clearly increased tire diameter over stock, will reduce scrub radius.
I understand also. thank you for sharing.

Sorry Hunter, I forgot that you are a pre-88. I'm having trouble finding wheel offset and tire specs on the early cars. I'm sure it's somewhere.



NP.. thanks

Fieroguru and all; do you have 3D CAD capabilities? I was a pioneer and now a dinosaur in 3D CAD. Some of the modeling I see today is truly astonishing.
And 3D scanners ... were science fiction in the late 80s. I think it would be cool to see a modern animated model of the 88 front end.

Bloozberry was an engineering genius on here before he left. I'm sure there are tons of cad drawings that he never released.

I have used AutoCAD for 30+ years, and have played around a little with Fusion 360. Since I picked up a CNC mill last year, I do need to learn more on the 3D side.
