@sdemo is totally correct. The amount of perceived "poke" is going to be determined by how much negative camber you're running as well as wheel offset and width.

In the front, with a 1.5" drop, you might need 1.0 - 2.0 degrees of negative camber to "tuck" the top of the wheel and prevent it from looking like it's poking (even though, technically, the bottom of the wheel will be). Don't worry about that, in the end it works and looks good. Most achieve this with either camber bolts or adjustable top hats.

In the rear, if you drop the car 1.5" you'll get roughly -1.2 degrees of natural negative camber. That should be enough because the rear fender clearance is better.

In general I avoid buying staggered setups if that's not what came from the factory. The last thing you want to have to deal with is a RWD car that understeers like a FWD car because the balance of front and rear grip has been thrown for a loop just to get a look.
