Not at all claiming that doesn't happen, but it doesn't warrant a blanket allegation. Typically, it's only for looks when the vehicle in question doesn't have the tire size and suspension setup that warrants poke.I always associate poke with someone that didnāt / doesnāt understand backspacing and offset. But I guess itās something people try to do now on purpose.
Who looks at measurements? The real question is the wheel the right color? We all know color is the most important attribute. When I line up at the mall gotta match. ?I always associate poke with someone that didnāt / doesnāt understand backspacing and offset. But I guess itās something people try to do now on purpose.
I really should laugh, but thatās kinda funny.I don't know about y'all, but amongst my friends, we call that a Mexican Mario Mart!

This is an issue even without poke and with stock tires.Pokes usually come with big-lugged tires. Don't these pick up stones that get flung back at bikers?
Mine does, I have a 2019 2-door Rubicon. Doing my build up slowly, as I donāt own a money tree. So skids and bumpers were first. My suspension is stock Rubicon. My 35ās came off my 13 Rubicon, that had a 2 1/2ā MC lift. So the Mickey Thompsons have a little more offset and cause a little bit of poke. During some āspiritedā driving, it feels more planted, less tippy than stock. And later, when my lift and 37ās go on it will still stick out, but I havenāt found a good option to cover the tires. I also did a fender split to gain more clearance, but unfortunately, no extra width. If anybody knows of something I could use to cover that extra 2ā of poke on each side, I would gladly take suggestions.Does having a wider stance increase stability in our JLs? does the Jeep feel more planted and drives better than stock?
I think the trend is also a function of wheel manufacturers being cheapskates and attempting to build a wheel that is both JK and JL compatible, as opposed to a bespoke wheel for JLs alone. This basically makes the wheel look okay on the JK and will have trash fitment on the JL. 1552 wheels come to mind, I'd have loved their 1552 analog, but not at 0 offset. I want retro, not retro low rider poke. The only company that designs wheels specifically for the JL with a reasonable offset is AEV. Everything else is random JK legacy garbage.I always associate poke with someone that didnāt / doesnāt understand backspacing and offset. But I guess itās something people try to do now on purpose.

As far as how it looks, it looks funny with smaller tires, more natural and balanced with larger tires.
Thanks but I donāt think the XR fender extensions will work because I have split the factory fenders, or gutted them as some people say, itās only the top most piece that remains. Itās basically only a 1/2ā piece of vertical fender that I have to connect to.XR fender extensions?
