Default Fitment/Stance Question, Need Opinions (pics inside)

Aite so I got these temp wheels on and I wanted to try the poke look rather than tucking. The way it sits now the front is fine but the back rubs on dips and turns. I want the poke but I also wanna stay low so the debate is should I raise the car a lil like half an inch in the back to get the clearance or stay as low and camber the back more to clear the fender givin me more of a tuck/flush look. Will it look weird if the back is tucking while the front is poking... what do youthink

I think if you raise it just a tad like 1/4 inch it would look ok. It looks good now just a little uneven. Also, what offset is the front if you don't mind me asking? I understand if it a secret, lol. Car looks great btw!

From the ground to the fender right now its the same distance, however the body of the car is just slanted forward so it looks like the back is higher. Offset is +12

are your rear quarter panels completely shaved? i'm pretty sure that's where you rub. i agree with raising the rears about .25" and perhaps a 5mm spacers.

Wheels are 9.5 10.5 +12
How will the spacer help?

IMO, I think there should an be equal amount of poke or more poke in the back. It kinda looks like you have the wider wheels on the front in the first pic. What happened to your works?

spacers in the rear will give you the even front and rear poke look

You've run into the issue I dislike about the flush/poke movement. I like to ride LOW...as do you! Only problem is kissing your fenders/quarters. I'd say raise the back a bit if you want to keep this look going. Wheels are SICk BTW!

the thing is I can't afford anymorepoke in the back unless I jack up the car more... I'm at like -5 camber which I can adjust for more poke but like I said then I have to raise it more

i'd go with raising up the rear a bit, because it looks pretty solid right now. but i agree with sick, it does look a little off in the first pic cuz there's more poke in the front right now... but thats just me.
