HELP! How to get rid of poke
 

Hi I have 17x9 +35 offset rpf1 and it's poking really bad, im on stock suspension and have tein flex a's waiting for install how do I get rid of the poke I didn't realize how ugly and serious it was as I'm not really a wheels guy. So would camber help?

Car runs almost no camber from factory. 4x4 ride height in stock form doesn't help the look either.

When the car is lowered, the suspension will naturally increase negative camber and will get you closer to the look you desire. When the coilovers come in, install those along with LCAs and get and alignment.

You'll be set after that.

Thanks so basically I need a rear LCA now ( cheapest option would be SPC ) and get a performance alignmen? Thanks for the quick reply so I know what to order.
Edit; forgot to mention I'm lowering the car by an inch max.

may be able to get a way without LCA..
I'm on Tein StreetFlex and with the rears lowered at my height, without replacing LCA
I had natural? camber at -2.2 i think they were which I'm okay with.. and toe are not out of whack either

Thanks for the reply I really don't want to wait for the LCA anyway because I already have everything for install just need the LCA if it's necessary I might try it without the LCA

At an inch max you probably won't need lca, but if you want it perfect it is a good idea to have them. Even stock, they can be off by .2 to .3 degrees on each side.

After you lower it, the poke will be reduced due to the added camber. The tops will be tucked in further, but the bottoms of the wheel will be about the same. The camber creates an illusion of what is vertical so it will look better.

what size tires are you running?

:needpics:

(Unless you posted them and I just can't see... my work computer is picky when it comes to that sort of thing..)

There's no reason to not get LCAs. Don't be cheap.

Lowering the vehicle will change the alignment, likely causing the left to be different from the right. It has nothing to do with zero'ing camber. It's about making sure both sides are the same. $200 SPCs and be done with it.

Or spend $150 to get an alignment and find out theres a 1/2 degree difference, go buy LCAs, and then spend the money for an alignment again.

but i like my nascar alignment!
jokes. yeah if you have the means do it right!

Who sold you the wrong wheels? This car has no business with 9" wide wheels unless it is a track car. You'll need to run greater than 2 degrees camber for them to "fit"

17x9 +35 245/40/17 all around lowered on swift springs only.

I've got 17x9 RPF1 +35s. Really the only way to eliminate poke completely is investing in coilovers and camber bolts and finding the right alignment, there is a very small sweet spot where the top of the tyre is tucked and there is no rubbing on full lock.

Put in a spacer of around -15mm of width on each wheel and that should help even it out.

Please elaborate.

Totalled. Sell wheels and buy a set 17x8?

Positive spacers push wheels out, negative spacers bring them back in. /s

Negative Spacers? Is that a grinding wheel you take to your hub?

Just kidding, know what you mean't

You guys are hilarious lol.

OP, you will gain some camber naturally when you lower the car with your coilovers. Do not bring it back to OEM specs, leave around -2 degres of camber front and rear, and the poke will dissapear.
