I also think this is on the verge of poke, without a lot of negative camber I don't see how +35 offset 17x9's would work without a bit of poke

Yup!
With the right amount of camber it can be a nice look. the rear not so much obviously. I'm at about -1.5 all around, a little less in the front because the Whiteline camber bolts are limiting me. I would like to get to -1.8 or even -2.0 but I'm more about keeping my tires a little longer.
