Default wheel offset?

ok i just got sum drag dr-20 15x7 +10mm offset on my civic and im not really liking the way they sit. they stick out on the sides and rub like a b'''h and i dont like that. my question is how can i fix the rub? and what is the offset stuff? what does it mean exactly?

yup. if you want to make them fit, get more negative camber, roll the fenders and call it a day, oh and lower the car more

the higher the offset the more "IN" the wheel is, the lower the more it pokes. you can always stretch the tires a little bit and that will give you clearance

ok yea i didnt know what the whole offset deal was when i ordered them so im prob guna just order some with +40mm offset so i can lower my car back down to where i had it with the hammers. its too high with these bc i had to raise the coilovers to clear. it had plenty off neg camber with my hammers
