They stick out further.Whate do you mean by poke, sorry
Needed/required no but the front offset makes the wheel stick out past the fender so recommended, yes. However I have no idea about the rokblokz fittingI am about to do the same thing (hp wheels and tire size on non-hp car), I have the rokblokz splash guards, is the lip molding needed or can it go on with the splash guards? TIA
