this keeps the center-line of the wheel and tire combo in the same spot ONLY IF the overall diameter is the same as stock. if the car has been lowered, or if you change the overall diameter, the scrub radius will move.
Does this reflect the info in paintpro's thread? I know his comments were regarding 17s but 255/40-17 are still same diameter as the 18 in 255/35...
