Icon2 HELP PLEASE!!! question about off set and all that stuff

i have a 93 civic dx coupe

my car sits at a good 4.5 inch off the ground from the front lip and
my mud guards(lowest point) sit at 1.75 inch off the ground.

sitting on 16x7 +35 wrapped with 205/45 tires
question is..

which is better 15x8 or 16x8??
im not sure how the offsets go. i cant grasp the concept of it.

im going for a HellaFlush look with negative camber (w/no camber kit-__-)

any suggestions on how to get to my goal?

That's what hella flush is.

Stretching small tires on wide low offset wheels, rolling fenders, lots of negative camber to make them fit.

All of that is

of course it is but i also seen in person when a person has TOO much negative camber (i think i deleted the picture) but it looks stupid when the wheel is 10 degrees from just having it flat on the side.

What happened to the days when people bought parts that actually fit the car and made it look better?

well im going settle with 15x8 and im not going to get beefy tires, getting 195/40r15 will be good enough for me. im good off that monster truck look hahah
going low pro tires with a mild neg camber would do me fine -___________-

But with what offset? That will play a huge roll in the fitment.

I have 15x8 +25 offset on 195/50/15 tires. Fenders rolled and pulled camber at 3.7 degreses all around and no rubbing anywhere. Lip is about 2-3 inches off the ground. My honda key fits exactly between the groubd and the oem lip. Hope it helped.
