I understand the concept of what you're saying, but I have never even heard of "Scrub Radius" before.

Is there any way the SR can be affected by only 7mm more width (for each wheel) on the front? If so, what can be done to determine whether I'm at risk, or how to address it? (I'm getting PASM too, if that matters.)

Can the SR be affected by adding width to the rear also?
