The trades will Scribble their measurements & set-ups on anything... 😎 that carries over in everything we do then.

Another thing to consider: more scrub radius outboard of the steering axis = more torque steer if it's a driven wheel (4WD/AWD/FWD). This is that yank the wheel out of your hands feeling many 80s/90s turbo Chryslers were plagued with. If you want more poke, the solution is simple: just make the wheels/tires wider. :)

bronze, machine, red, blue, pink, clear, anything but black wheels!

I'm really looking forward to knowing more about those tires

Me too. They look good and the tapered edges between the tread will clean well. But the narrowed spacing in the tread should make it quieter then a mud terrain. I look forward to seeing what they can do

Great job, this a subject that many people dont understand and this was great job explaining it.

Thanks man!

Wow Nate, your channel is continuing to wow me with your teaching abilities! Never learned any of this stuff before as I work in a completely different arena, but your explanations are clear as a bell.

thanks! needed this! its great that your listening to questions and making videos about them...

Thanks Nate! Very much appreciated for the information. Always very easy to understand!

This brings a lot of sense to why my dry u turns in 4x4 are so rough. Thanks Nate for bringing scrub radius to my attention.

I truly appreciate your videos. I've learned lots from them. Especially when you explain with your white board! I'm very much a newbie to cars and off road terminology. Please keep it up, awesome content and stay safe!

Love the explanation and term understanding information. It gave me the information and explanation I needed for the light bulb to go off! Love your channel! Keep it up! ...Also miss the north-west. When I served, I was in tahuya forest every weekend. I helped walk the newer trail system out there and mark where the obstacles where going in. Love to see people having a blast on something I helped with!

My background in carpentry made it simple to understand exactly how you’re coming to the answers your getting with offset. If it works, it works! 👍

Great info Nate. You explained it very well. I too come from a construction back ground and I get what you said. Thank you.

Do to my life style im busy with work this time of year. Just wanted to say thanks for your videos. Although I'm not a big 4x4 guy, I still like watching your videos for the fab & welding, cause i can still apply that to my personal life. Also thank you for taking the time as a youtuber to answer our questions.

Once again, best offroading how to KZread channel!

Thanks for explaining scrub radius so well, that helps a lot

No problem 👊 thanks for watching 🤘

Looking forward to the final specs on the wheels and tires. I'm running 17s on my Disco 3 in Ireland. Tires are 265 70 R17 Toyo Open Country. So plenty of side wall and the ability to drop the tire pressure right down for running on the soft sand at the beach. I often wondered what was involved in getting a 12.5" wide tire to fit. Making a 33 x 12.5 fit, involves more trimming than I'd like to do, that is according to the Internet at least. Love the content Nate, I was happy to get a video on Friday and not late on Sunday evening (Irish time) thanks again for the brilliant content.

Nate, great video. I had to learn all this the hard way. Wish I had the opportunity to watch your videos 25-30 years ago. Great information. Enjoy watching. -Frank

Ah hell thank ya so much for getting in the weeds with this, I'm the guy that asks yeah but why do I need this backspacing, usual response is "because thats what they all do" thanks for explaining how and why people can come to these conclusions!! Thankyou!

Jus got my son a 1966 CJ5 for his first vehicle. The guy put 15” aftermarket rims and 32x10.50 tires on it, and now I’m going t9 have to check all this this week.

Great vid, all your videos are top notch!

Awesome job and the perfect topic to go on Thanks

I don’t care if you made this up it makes perfect sense to me. But I’ve done a lot of building and a lot of mathematics so I get it. Well done video and explanation. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

dude great video as always.

Excellent video

Nate, Disco 2 uses Land Rover's own canbus dialogue. I run a Nanocom for my Td5 D2, you can get a cable and unlock code for it to talk to the D3 too. Easy to use and very capable fault finding tool, highly recommended.

Awesome video. Well done and explained. Appreciated… just bought some nitto ridge grapplers (35”) had the put on the 20” wheels i had on my Jeep jk, but not real happy with how far they stick out from the fender ( i want it to stick out more “negative offset” ) only sticks out what seems to me like an inch, maybe less. And i have wheel spacers as well but not sure what size. I’m going to buy a new wheel set for the mud tires I replace which are still good and look way more aggressive than the nittos. Thanks for putting me on the right path towards understanding and achieving the look i want.

Good information Nate

Thanks Nate👍🏻

great video as always, you motivate me to go work on my jeep.... im guilty of like wide wheel stance, my daily is a 14 f150 rcsb on 22x12 wrapped in nitto 420

Scan tool for Land Rover: the recommended one among Land Rover fans is GAP IID BT tool - will do both the D2 & D3. .... and does _way_ more than just scan & clear codes!

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you.

Nate in reference to your diagnosis issue with the disco 2 the nanocom system from the U.K. is the best one made specifically for LR, love the build 👍

Thanks Nate for another awesome vid man!!! I vote Bronze!

Black is always good. Bronze is a passing fad. Great video.

Couple things to consider on your tire choice for the LR3. I bought the Johnson Rod lift rods for 2.5" air spring "lift". I used to run 285 (11.25") 65 18, on factory wheels with a 1/2" spacer. The spacer was required for clearing the front upper a arm. The tire would not stuff up into the wheel wells but it would tear up all the inner mud liners, sheetmetal under the flare and would rip flare off now and then. Then I bought American Racing, 1 inch negative offset and removed the spacer; not much changed. I now run a 275 65 18... they still rub, just in different places. My rig is a Java Black 2007 LR3 with the (cough cough) Ford 4.0L V6

Hey Nate - believe it or not the ABS system in your LR is the same that's in my H1 (Wabco). To diagnose ABS codes on our trucks we have to jump Pin 4 and 15 in the OBD2 port with a paper clip - then we count dash light blinks.

Thanks Nate. Due to my rig, it's really hard to find a wheel that has appropriate offset/backspace for me. Might have to drop cash on a custom set to get what I want.

Great video! I just went through the process of figuring out what offset I needed with my new lift, this video would've made it a little easier to understand. I am curious, what is your offset and scrub radius on you TJ?

Thumbnail is on point

Perfect timing. I'm looking for new wheels on the wife's ZJ. It came with 10" wide wheels with 3.5" BS and 31x10.5x15 tires and I can't stand its scrub radius and the bulged look of the tire. Interesting how a bigger tire needs less BS.

Nate, look up 'Discovery 2, 3 Amigos' should tell you a lot about the lights you've got on the dash. It's a very common thing with D2's basically brake warning, abs and hill decent lights, the slightest problem in the traction control system will bring these lights on. Scan tool is a must to find out where the gremlins are.

Sweet video! I never knew anything about scrub radius until this video awesome information thanks! You explained everything great. I would like to know what a good scrub raidus is? Is there specific measurement for different axles or is there a generic measurement that applies to all SFAs? Thankyou!

I heard about scrub radious, and I forget it, I was thinking how can I improve the steering capability in my dana 60 swap fj40 construction, thank you Nate to remind me about scrub radious theme

Awesome Video! Thank you Nate! You explanation was absolutely perfect! One question regarding a straight axle, specifically a JLUR. I totally understand keeping the Scrub Radius (SR) to a minimum for neutral steering. If you had to error and live with some amount of SR, is it better to error with the Intersection Point on the Inboard or Outboard side of Wheel Centerline?

Great information, do you have a video on the blue truck on what your going to do with it?

I think the bronze would look awesome on it brother 👍

As always awesome work. Get a nanocom best investment I have ever made

I cut up a set of rims for my 4x4 riding mower and need to piece them together for the hug tires I'm using. After watching this vid, my scrub radius is going to suck big time, LOL.

Great video Nate. What wheel and setup are you running in your TJ ? Thanks

I’m not sure if you’ve gotten your Disco scanner yet, but I got one on eBay for like $150 and so far it’s preformed great at reading and erasing SRS and ABS codes.

Don't forget tire height affects scrub radius too. If you were to drop down to 35's or go up to 40's on your Land Rover that would change your scrub radius.

great video. it’s a land rover, just leave the check engine lights on. they are going to be on anyway, just get used to it. 😂

Love your videos, cant wait to see the kj build. Got a question, planning on building my kj, eventually will do SAS, thinking danna 44 and 35 inch tyres, but first, 3 inch lift, swap the rear for a 44 from a rodeo, since I have 4.10 gears, 33s and ox locker, do the SAS later. Would this be a good axle? My rig is a weekend warrior at the moment.

How does axle width affect scrub radius? The angle through the ball joints the back spacing of the wheel and the tire size are the only things that affect your scrub radius. By increasing your tire size you can decrease your scrub radius. Love the videos and love seeing a non jeep build as a non jeep wheeler.

Great video. What is the WMS of your 04 Super Duty axle?

Gotta make sure you limit that "Tire Poke" 😂😂

Have looked into the Method Off-road wheels? They have a bead grip technology that simulates a bead locker. I just wish they make a bolt pattern for TJs.

I did not hear how tire diameter affects scrub radius. But good job. It gets really complicated quickly. Dynatrac has a good video as well.

Nanocom is the right tool for your Disco. 😉 Keep on the beast work you do. U and if you buy a map for D3 you can use it also on your wifes Disco

Just curious to what tires are on the TJ right now? I may need to get some as I just purchased a 85 yota that has been sitting for 5ish years

Are you planning on doing another tdi swap rig, and do you think it would make enough power to move a ford ranger on a dana 60. Any thoughts would be great

Awesome explanation! Also what wheels are you running on the disco? Id like to 1 ton swap my Comanche but I dont want a crazy wide jeep and I like the look of those ones.

Would u say that IFS(independent front suspension) is affected the same or more for increased scrub radius’s, considering the measuring points would b a little different then solid axles.

Hey Nate, putting wider axles on my fj60, just wondering where you are finding these positive offset wheels from? Most are negative or zero offset that i am finding so far

What is your wheel and tire set up for your tj?

Quick question! Usually stock offset / tire diameter / tire width / lift height (lift height would only apply with ifs / irs I’d think?) handles and rides the best on the street, how would we calculate the correct offset for larger tires to be as close as possible to stock?

I love the new Facebook group, it's filled with EXTREMELY helpful members, although I accidentally joined a very different group with the same name. By the way, any thoughts on transverse leaf spring setups??

Hey Nate on my 2006 liberty i have 30”x70 tires on it , i put “0” offset wheels on it from vision ( gun metal grey ) looks awesome, the tires just barley stick out past the fenders but it looks bad ass like that . Whats your opinion on using a “0” offset wheel on my jeep ? Think it will be ok on my suspension parts ? My whole front end is MOOG, ball joints , upper control arms, tie rod ends everything. Your opinion means alot to me so if ua could let me know . Oh its a 8” wide 16 “ wheel .

What, in your opinion, is to much of a scrub patch for a solid axel wheeler that I drive some on the street? It’s a YJ on waggy axels that I have narrowed 2.5 inches.

Hey, as you're getting into more educational stuff, think about practical demos. Something like grabbing a junk wheel and cutting it in half to demo offset. You're teaching more and more, and real world examples will make more intuitive sense than whiteboard drawings. Keep it up!

I have A LR4 lifted with 35..1250 size tires and rims I have are made by black rhino called the warLord,,,18,8 Which I had powder coated dark midnight bronze I think it looks good on your wife's LR3

So I run wheel spacers and offset rims on my Suzuki Jimny. This must mean I have a huge scrub raduis. How do I go about reducing that scrub angle? Is the only option wider axels?

To whomever questioned the dodge dana 44/60 do a little bit of research... certain years of those dodge 4x4s used ‘center axle disconnects’ on the 44 fronts. Somewhat undesirable but companies do make kits to eliminate the C-A-D and beef up the axle. Torqueking.com is a great resource for those axles.

Great video, I prefer the wider stance, will negative offset create a weaklink, how much will be a safe number for it?

@DirtLifestyle

This is super tricky to answer and it changes frome vehicle to vehicle. I would say anything under 3" is damn good for 1/2 ton- 1 ton axles but under 4 is still not bad. As this distance grows so does the strain. But this might not be true for a samurai axle or IFS. This is why it is tricky and without data from proper testing it's all just anecdotal.

Great content as always! My GM DRW Dana 60 front is too narrow for my taste. The wheels are tucked up under the truck like a 2WD. 2” spacers are no good with how it drives (mostly a hauling a tow rig) but it gives it the look I’m after. Would you swap to a newer wider axle from a Ram or possibly a Super Duty Ford D60 or figure out some expensive way to have mine widened? I realize I’ll have to switch from passenger drop to driver drop if swapping axles.

Very good video. You did a great job explaining it! So many people go and throw -38 offset or more wheels on their Wranglers then wonder why they drive bad, have shimmy, huge turn radius, and stuff wears out so fast. Wish everyone would watch and learn about proper steering setup.

I have a chance to get a 84 Nissan a70 cheap build I'm not familiar with nissan got any tips

Just drove my lj on the highway for the 1st time since doing a front axle swap, 3 link front, triangulated 4link rear, both trussed. We had to remove the rear sway bar for the new suspension. Still need to align the front and install the new rear shocks. The jeep feels very unsafe at high speeds on a winding road. Is this because of having no rear sway bar or would the sway bar make no difference?

Where did you get the 5x120 to 5x5 adapters? I see a lot of them I just can't tell which are well made and which are trash. PS hope you got the Nanocom.

I have a 97 wrangler with the stock Dana' axles been thinking I want to go up to 33 bf Goodrich murders and possibly graduate up to 35s was wondering if a 4 10 gear setup would be sufficient or would i be better off going a little more thanx for the great videos
