View Full Version : Scrub radius with a C6 spindle?

Does anyone have the scrub figure using vertical from the face of the C6 hub (as if you had a zero offset wheel) to the ground vs the KPI line on a C6 spindle and hub with the hub centerline 12.5-13" off the ground or similar?

It would seem this exist somewhere. With this it would be pretty easy for any of us to get pretty dam close on our individual scrub radius #s using our specific wheel widths and offsets.

I'm under the impression zero scrub happens about 2.25" inboard of the hub face.:headscratch: I could be way off.:sieg:

Do you just want to know what yours is? Stock vette is scrub with stock wheels according to DJWorm in this thread (http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69660&page=3)

Would you give up tire width to get a perfect scrub radius?

I can't get those graphs to display at a readable size for some reason so I an SIOL.

DJWorm says zero scrub but with which wheel and tire combo? Do you know what the offset/width and tire size of the stock Vette wheels he is speaking of is?

He implied somwhere that was with stock sizing for all the models. That was all I came up with in a quick goggle search. I am sure the info is out there.

I am curious, though. At this point there is nothing you can do about it without serious refab or rehooping the wheels, so is it just "I want to know"?

If you know KPI, hub height, wheel width, wheel backspace and tire height I will graph it out.

I wanted to confirm what I thought my scrub was.

I found the Front wheel size on the Corvette forum: 18x8.5 offset: +56 mm

That 56mm is 2.20472 so on the stock height Corvette wheel zero scrub is about where I thought it was. Thanks.
