New wheels & tires poke

[ugstang17]

^^^^ Gotcha. Most people I hear speaking on this topic are more concerned with the "Joe Dirt" effect of the tires sticking out past the wheel wells. Sorry I was ignorant to OP concern and def of 'pooching' as well. Just not used to people being this picky about a muscle car.

X4. I had ZL1's and now Rokblokz, no comparison, Rokblokz is superior.

Third. I installed my Rockblocks a month ago when I installed spacers, and I really like them!

Thanks guys I understand the POKE terminology better now! The problem I have is the same as LSchicago worried about rock chips in paint my extends just like his.I will look into the Rokblokz mud flaps.. LSchicago is your speedometer off I have to do some more testing with a gps but it appears mine 3 mph faster according to check your speed warning sign.

Speedometer? What's that? Lol. I believe mine reads 1-2 mph faster in normal driving. My new tires are slightly lower in height.

Pretty sure you can adjust the speedo in engineering mode

Just so you know, the term "poke" is used to refer to how far past the TOP of the fender the wheel/tire protrudes. Just want to make sure people aren't getting confused, as I highly doubt a 285 is sticking out half an inch haha

Right, not being as tucked as stock is not "poke".

You dont need mudflaps behind the rear tires, I dont care how wide you poke you’re not getting chips back there. You might need some behind the front tires mainly to protect the area in front of the rear tires.

They would help keep rubber off the rear cover too.

True. My 285 fronts don't poke at all. they are flush. His should be the same as they are the same wheels.

Different wheel but my 20x10 fronts on 285 +35 are pretty flush no poke. My rear 20x11 on 315 +50 are flush as can get without really any poke.

I have 10/11 rims and 285/305 wheels. Never had rock chip issues.

Love that look!
What Rims? And I'm guessing 20"... Looks a little lowered to?

Thank you. BMR SP 763 minimum lowering springs. 19 inch LMR rims. 11/10 305/285

A lot of these tires are set up for lowered suspension. Because of the sunpension geometry, when lowered, the wheels will get pushed inwards. Because of that, a lot of the wheels will have some poke at stock height.

How much camber are you running out back? That can make a big difference.

Yes it can. Around -1.5 works best for me. And is well in spec.
