      The higher positive offset moves the centerline of the wheel in towards the centerline of the car. Relative to where I started, the 45mm offset wheel decreases the positive scrub radius which reduces steering effort and tramlining. I'm sitting at about 1-5/16" positive scrub right now. I'd like to reduce it further but don't really want to pay for custom, higher offset wheels.

      The further you are from zero scrub (positive or negative), the higher your steering effort will be.

      Only true in motion (and I'm not convinced there aren't exceptions there). When stopped (parallel parking, etc), scrub can significantly reduce steering effort. In fact, some say thats the reason for scrub existing in OE designs.
