i'm running poke on my car with 19s...IMO its not excessive, but definitely completes the look. It's made to compliment the look, but often gets taken too far.

i'm running 8.5's in front and 9.5's in the rear with 215/35s up front and 225/35s in rear.

IMO there is a fine line between what's aesthetically pleasing and what i think is excessive...some have crossed that line.

Jess' car (the black s4 with orange wheels on bags) is a nice car for sure, and he's definitely a cool dude, but IMO the poke is WAY too over the top and doesn't go with the "theme" of the car...not knocking his taste or work, just my opinion.

some of the other cars you've posted in the thread definitely have nice stance's tho as well. but you are right, stance can make or break a car.

the b5 fenders are rough if you have an agressive drop. my **** is so low i run 205/45/r16 on factory 7 spokes. i have tsw vx1's 32 offset 18'' that are 10'' wide. when i went from sport springs to coils even with the rolled fenders they had to come off for the drop i wanted. with just the sport springs the 245/45/r18s rubbed. the stern adj. end links helped but at speed your shaving rubber

I've seen some people running that size on some Dubs. It could've been 195/45 tho. Checked all the local shops and none of them have that size. Perhaps I should upped and go with 205. I know that size is gonna be tough to find still.
