“Poke” or “Stance” is when the wheel and tire stick outside of your fender. A negative offset is what can create a larger lip or concave style, which will push the tire out. What does 0 offset mean on wheels?
What is the difference between Tuck and poke wheels?
Tuck meaning they are tucked in under the bodywork, Poke meaning they poke out from the bodywork and flush –you guessed it- that they remain flush with the existing bodywork. The point of tucking a wheel into the arch, is to allow fitment of a wider alloy wheel, normally through the fitment of a narrowed front beam.
What is a wheel in poker?
The wheel is the nut low hand, so it beats all other low hands and can only be tied by another wheel. Since this is the case, when a player completes a wheel before the river it allows them to bet much more aggressively and potentially scoop a huge pot.
Why is poke so popular?
Obviously, poke has a pretty huge following, making the car instantly noticeable, but also emulating far more expensive high performance or racing models and at a fraction of the cost.
What is the difference between a stretch Tyre and a poke?
Poke can be achieved for instance with spacers, pushing the wheel out from the norm, by using wide rims. Stretch is actually used to avoid poke on a wide wheel. The right combo will give you a wide wheel whose physical edge will be outside the arch, but a stretch tyre will mean that the tread of the tyre itself remains under the arch.
What causes wheel poke?
A wheel poke or stance is when the wheel and tyre stick outside of your fender. This is usually caused by changing your wheel to a negative offset, or moving to zero offset if your wheels are usually set as positive.
What is poke in a car?
Car enthusiasts call it poke when the tires are exposed. A wider track width has an advantage: less weight transfer when cornering. The downside is more wear on bearings, a change in suspension geometry, and a greater tendency to oversteer. Oh, and the dangers expressed above, of course.
How much wheel poke is too much?
In general about 15mm of poke is fine. The tire and rim will be exposed and wider than the fender so just be careful. Don't get wide rims and put narrow tires on them, this will expose the rim metal and risk damage if you hit anything.
What are the things called on a wheel?
The wheel is composed of the tire, the rim, and the hub. Each of these components has several other parts that complete the functionality of the wheel. The tire is held on to the wheel with tire beads and supports the vehicle while providing traction using the treads.
What are offset wheels?
The offset of a wheel is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the center line of the wheel. The wheel offset is measured in millimeters and results in a positive, negative, or zero offset. Positive offset is when the hub mounting surface is toward the front or wheel side of the wheel.

What is the outer part of a wheel called?
The rim is the "outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire". It makes up the outer circular design of the wheel on which the inside edge of the tire is mounted on vehicles such as automobiles.
What are the parts of a wheel and axle?
Let's get started! A wheel and axle is one of six types of simple machines and consists of an outer ring or cylinder called the wheel and an inner ring or cylinder called the axle. These two parts are rigidly connected and move together in the same direction when a force is applied to either the wheel or the axle.
What's the middle part of the rim called?
The hub is the center part of the wheel that the rim attaches to. It's home to the brake pads, calipers, and rotors. All of that attaches to the axle and allows the vehicle to move and stop. The tire is attached to the hub, and from its center, five bolts extend, along with lug nuts.

I've been looking through dozens of forums and videos and other advice from the Internet, but I'm still not fully in an understanding with how to properly give your wheels the "poke" look. I have 02 WRX and brand new 522 17x9 XXR's 5-100/5-4.5 with a +42mm offset and no tires please help!

There's actually a tried-and-true method of getting those tires mounted on a wheel, but it's a little unconventional.

I think I may know what you are requesting. I did this to my old buick, well my brother did actually so he gets the credit. But what you do is you over inflate your tire till you get a big bubble looking structure. Should look almost cancerous like the size of a baseball. Repeat for all other tires to get this "poke" effect.

Reverse mount wheels (usually undersized, so-called mexi-flush) can give a poke effect/appearance, at the expense of your wheel bearings.

I hereby present the stancetard decoder ring that I found online, because I never understood what the heck they're talking about. 'Poke' is MexiFlush with stretched tires, for double dumb points:

What is a wheel offset
Offset, or what the industry refers to as "ET" is the distance between the center of the rim, and the mounting surface of the wheel that contacts the vehicle hub. A simple way to understand offset, is the lower the offset, the more the wheel will stick out, likewise, the higher the offset, the more the wheel will tuck in.
What is the difference between wheel offset and backspacing
Measuring backspacing is another way to determine how far in or out a wheel will sit. Backspace and offset both measure the wheel positioning, but in different ways. You can convert backspacing to offset by using a fairly simple calculation.
How to measure the offset or backspacing of a rim
To measure backspacing or offset, you'll lay the wheel face down, and lay a straight edge across the back of the wheel. Using the straight edge as an indicator for the back of the wheel, you will measure the "Backspacing" which is distance from the back of the wheel to the back pad (the part of the wheel that mounts up to the vehicle hub).
How does rim offset and rim width affect fitment
Finding the perfect wheel and tire fitment requires a careful calculation of wheel width, wheel offset and tire size. Element Wheels has used 60 years worth of combined knowledge base to determine the ideal fitment for your vehicle.
What is Wheel Offset?
Wheel offset is the distance in millimeters from the center line of the wheel to the mounting surface. If the mounting surface is closer to the face of the wheel it is known to have a positive offset and if the mounting point is closer to the inside of the wheel it has a negative offset.
What is Wheel Backspacing?
Wheel backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting surface to the inside edge of the wheel. A wheel's width is from the mounting points of the tire beads, therefore the measured width of a wheel from outside edge to outside edge is about an inch wider than spec.
