Default wheel rubbing problems

didnt get my car too long ago, and it had rota slipstreams/ with ecstas..

if i turn the wheel too far, it will rub like a bitch.. i have GC's but its VERY high in the front right now/ almost looks like stock.

i also need an alignment really bad (holding the steering wheel sideways and its shaking)

should these factors effect why its rubbing? the rotas are only 15 inches, i dont see the problem, help me out though, i hate when i hear the rubbing noise.

Offset should be the very first thing you need to know about before buying rims. Most people just slap rims on and assume that since they're 15's they will fit nice and not rub. Wrong. I've seen 18's on a CRX without rubbing. It's all about the offset. Oh p.s., read that article it's very informative. Ok, back to work.
