Re: Wheel Help
Yep. You need wheels with that offset, and then that same amount of lowering, and tires that are the same width, and then you can do the fine adjustment with a camber kit if you really need. The answer to your question is that you need different wheels.
Seriously though, you should be getting rid of some of that camber, not adding it, because all that's doing is eating tires. It looks like shit.

Re: Wheel Help
roll the hell out your rear quarters until they nearly rip
get different wheels with the correct offset...
buy a camber kit and crank them all the way in and ride on the inner edge of your tire
or just deal with it rubbing...
your only choices..

Re: Wheel Help
You're trying to do the equivalent of smashing an exhaust header flat so an engine swap will fit, instead of buying the right exhaust header. Sure, your way might fit, but now you've completely trashed the engine performance.

Re: Wheel Help
i'm not driving the car as of now because of the quaility with the ride with thoses wheels on there because the wheels hit the fender,so i'm trying to figure out what i can do to make the fender not be touched
i know i'm going to have to switch wheels in the long run but i'm just trying to make it driveable when driving on the highway and stuff

Re: Wheel Help
Don't even spend any time trying to fix it, just get some different wheels. If you spend any time with as much camber as you need to make them work, you'll just have to buy new tires in a few thousand miles anyway. So then you'll have to buy new tires and new wheels, and also have to sell the wheels you have with completely worn tires instead of usable tires.
If you look at the red Integra, you'll see that the tire actually clears the fender over the whole range of suspension travel, which means that the offset works.
