How much poke is too much poke?
I just swapped out my 792M (19x8.0, 225/40 front and 19x8.5, 255/35 rear) for some BBS wheels (19x9.5 ET25, 255/35 front and 19x10.5 ET35, 275/35 rear).
The extra rubber has definitely helped transfer the power to the asphalt much better, but do you think there's too much "poke" in the back"? I've never really understood the "ideal" place for the tires to meet the fender. Or is it the wheels? I don't even know what angle to take these photos. I'm thinking the rear might look better if I add side skirts and a diffuser that wraps around to the side. Might make it look like it pokes less? I'd love your input. You can be honest, I can take it. |

No spacers, and so far, no rub. I have Dinan lowering springs.
I like how the front looks, but the rear looks like it “pokes” a bit, but again, I’m not sure how much is acceptable. |

I have 19x9 HF5s on my M340 with a 245/40/19, and I think I'm rubbing on the strut. I'm going to take a look underneath, but I think it rubs about 70% wheel turn.

I tend to prefer a conservative approach to wheels and tires.
In my opinion, both ends poke more than I would like. In addition the tires seem stretched. You went 1.5" wider on the front wheels, 2" wider on the rear, but only 30mm(f) and 20mm(r) on tire width. But - your opinion matters the most. |

does poke mean the sidewall sticking out past the fender line, or does it mean the rim sticking out past the fender line
usually the sidewall is wider than the rim i have 18x9 ET25 (it's actually ET35 but with 10mm spacers) square set up running 245 40 18 i'm not sure i like the look of it, looks like a boy racer. i don't think the rims are past the fender line but the sidewall of the tires are PS 9" is perfect for the Michelin PS4 245 40 18, they are not even the slightest stretched, these rubbers are wide! |

I just did a quick calc using Apex wheel fitment guide. Their 10" rear wheel is ET38. A 10.5" wheel is 0.5" or 12.7mm wider; dividing that by two gives 6.35mm extra width on both sides of center compared to a 10" wheel. So their 10" rear front spacing (side facing outward) would be 3mm + 6.35mm less than your 10.5" wheel. The 3mm is offset difference (38-35). So the perceived "poke" on an Apex 10" rear wheel would be 9.35mm less (further in) than your setup. Aesthetically and perhaps functionally (i.e clearance with full range of suspension travel), Apex is likely in the right spot.

I'll update the photos once I put these side skirts on. I'm hoping it'll help in some sort of optical illusion type of way. LOL. |
