Default Too much poke?

Just got myself a new set of wheels. Love the way they look but I'm a little annoyed with myself that they poke a little. Wanted to know what others think.

Be honest guys, is this too much poke?

A bit too much. Especially in the front. Not bad though. Still looks good.

I like the “poke” look. It’s not too much at all. People it’s opinion based and if you like it then who cares.

Fronts look a little too much poke. Rears look fine to my eyes.

Any rubbing? I had some when I used 15mm spacers on the front with 275/30/20 et 30 wheels/tires. There is a bolt at the apex of the front wheel arch that would contact the outer edge of the tire on deep compressions of the front suspension. Swapped to a 10mm spacer in front and left the 15mm spacers in back. So far no more rubbing.

Like the others said, a little to much poke. It looks good although I would worry about rubbing and throwing road debris into the paint.

A little too much but can be reduced with a smaller spacer (obviously if youre using one.) but also with a tire with less of a lip or narrower width...

I'm running 20x11 ET15 with 275/30R20.

As far as I can tell, I'm not rubbing anywhere. I'm still on the stock sport suspension though, don't plan on lowering it, at least not in the near future.

I'm curious who recommended that to you. 11" is not a recommended wheel width for the 275/30R20 tire. I mean there are people who run tires beyond the recommended widths but often the lower so you can't see the tire stretch.
