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 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

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. |

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.

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"

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.
