Tuck vs.Poke vs. Flush

[RedE46Bimmer]

Okay so after I buy my new springs(to go lower ) I will be looking at getting a new set of wheels while I refinish the Equips I have now. I'm going gold. But anyways....

The delema I am in is wheel sizing.

right now I am on 17's and i love how I am very low with poke. Like Matt's car...poke with 17's.





Hope you don't mind me using your car as an example matt... E46 love.

OR....

Flush with 17's... And when I say flush i mean like this....kinda.... i did some searching and couldn't find an example of exactly what i was looking for. Like dubbr's car on vwvortex, The e-famous red MKV... just imagine these but with a little less poke...







The set of wheels I have my eyes on however are 18's and i know that if I poke with 18's I will not be able to go as low as I like to be and will get this gay ass rake...

I **** rake.



But I have kinda been digging the tuck stance lately like this...tucking 18s?





[Insert piture of Brod's car here]


So anyways what are some thoughts/opinions??

I drive an E46 BTW.....

Damnit I meant to add in a pole...fml

Dan's (dubbr) car is much more tuck than poke/flush. Forward rake is the shit, don't knock it lol. Reverse rake, on the other hand, sucks big donkey dick

And fuck springs, coilovers are a must to dial in any set of wheels imo

[RedE46Bimmer]

well i'm on fully adjustable coilovers allready. My fronts are completely bottomed out and I still have like 1 finger of wheel gap, so i'm just ordering new springs for my coilovers...shorter AND stiffer!

^^^Couldn't have said it better^^^
Generaly I'd say go for as much tuck as possible then move them out as flush as possible HOWEVER - on an e46 I'd have to say go as low as you humanly can w/ a little poke. Poke flows well with e46 fenders. I'm almost ashamed to admit I'd sacrafice low for poke if I were in an e46. Anyways the combo I mentioned is WiN and a half. Good luck on your mission man

Tuck or bust. See sig.

Ah gotcha. What size tires are those up front as they look kinda small

A little more poke and a little more low up front should be money. The wheel is flush but the there's some room to go lower and out more with that stretch

[Dubmd]

idk imo i love poke and always have
i still need to poke more in the rear tho
and thanks for using me as an example haha

i think E46s look bad tucking a lot. I say go for flush.

[RedE46Bimmer]

^Do you have any pics of e46s tucking? I've tried searching but really haven't found any good examples..

its a 205/40 on an 8.5. i plan on spacing these out a bit when I go lower as well.

If you get 18s, go flush.

17s, if you go poke like Matts car.

IMO.

I like tuck on some e46s too but you gotta go lowwwww and push the lip as close to the fender as possible. I dont mind 19s on e46s either if they are very tucked and fitted.

17s, if you go poke like Matts car.

This. I'm not a huge fan of tuck on E46s though.
