Is the scrub radius unaffected by a thicker sidewall and overall larger tire diameter?

I'm leaning towards eventually getting a thicker tire (265/35 sound pretty good) but very hesitant to disturb the original OEM suspension performance and characteristics.
Almost negligibly. A 235/35R18 with a wheel that's ET45 (and most 18"s are 45mm or even less) will impact scrub radius a lot more, and make handling worse in general.
