scrub radius, camber and toe ?
im am looking at the cause and effect of all these measurements/angles.
when running a very large scrub radius of about 100mm, if im also running some negative camber that will effectively lift the outer edge of the tyre, does that mean my tyre contact patch is actually then heading back inwards ?
assumeing that it is I know its not ideal but im just thinking even with a small amount of camber on a 10j rim that should lift the outer edge of the tyre considerably, causing the tyre to not grip much on the outside anyway and put more grip/weight on the inner edge. my theory is a more positive scrub radius would be beneficial with a large scrub radius due to how the tyre is sat on the road.
and to aid handling should I ideally add more toe in with a larger scrub radius ?
ive never even considered all this stuff so just trying to learn and see how I can extend track width without a whole new suspension set up.
