How to fix wheel poke

Just recently lowered my car on coils and my wheels and tires are so sucked in underneath my wheel wells and I don't like the look. What is the fix to add more wheel poke? Just bigger wheels and bigger tires? Or is there a step I'm missing.

'poke' is when they extend outside the fenders. you've got 'suck' lol.
cheap fix: wheel spacers. @Tareim recommended the right way. it's a combination of wheel width, offset and camber. tire size and cross sectional shape are also factors.

3 options or a combination of the 3.
1. less camber
2. wider wheel/wider tire
3. less offset/wheel spacer
Look at the various wheel threads and find out what look you are going for and get a similar setup.

What wheels do you currently have? What are your goals? You could run 18x9.5's with 265 tires all around, or you could run 17x7's and 215's all around. As long as the wheels have the right offset it will look flush to the fender.

Stock wheels need a 20mm spacer in the front and 25mm spacer in the back for a flush fit. Look in the wheel directory, there is a fitment guide that will tell you how different wheel size combos fit. There is also a database with pictures for a lot of wheel designs and sizes. Start with that.

Even saying 18 leaves a huge range. This thread, posts 2 and 3, has charts detailing how different sizes with different offsets fit the car, with links to examples.
