Think you nailed your wheel fitment just by matching up the diameter, width, and offset? Think again. There’s a hidden suspension measurement that most people completely ignore when buying aftermarket wheels, and it could be ruining how your car drives: Scrub Radius.

In this video, we break down exactly what scrub radius is, why it’s the forgotten hero of proper wheel fitment, and how changing your wheel offset alters your car’s steering geometry.

If you’ve ever noticed your car pulling hard over bumps (tramlining), felt a loss of steering feedback, or experienced weird braking behavior after putting on new wheels, your scrub radius is likely out of whack. We’ll dive into how positive versus negative scrub radius affects your drive, and how to pick a set of wheels that gives you the perfect look without compromising your car’s handling performance.

Don’t sacrifice your car’s dynamics just for flush fitment. Let’s get it dialed in right.
