Default How much camber?

So this is probably a stupid question but I'm gonna ask anyway.

I know there are websites like willitfit.com that will calculate how much poke/ride height changes/etc., to help figure out what kind of a change different wheels and tires will make. But basically I'm gonna be doing some suspension work tomorrow and putting new wheels on next week, and I was wondering if there's a website to put in wheel/suspension specs to calculate (roughly) what I'm going to end up with for camber differences (yes I have googled it and all I've gotten is websites telling me what camber is), or if maybe anyone has any experience with these applications.

There are a thousand threads on here that say I'll need a camber kit, and a thousand and one that say I will not. And I'm not necessarily gonna be upset about a little bit of negative camber. But I'd still kind of like to know what I'm going to be looking at, and I'm stuck at my desk at work all day today dying of anticipation so I figured I'd post this just to see what people have to say.

Car is a 2000 Civic EX coupe. Eibach sportline springs going on stock struts
(in good condition, and yes I'm fully aware that I will need to swap them eventually). Stock wheel size is 185/95/14, 6.5 wheel width, I'm pretty sure. Going to be putting on 15x7s with 195/50/15s.

Any input would be appreciated

What offset are the new wheels?

Also, your wheels and tires won't change anything about your camber settings.

I know wheels don't really have much to do with camber and it's all about the suspension, but I wanna know if I'm gonna rub/poke.

Offset is +38, they're 15x7 Enkei 92s

Those will clear by quite a decent sized margin. Wheels have nothing to do with camber.
