Default how do you get low offset wheels droped lower on civic

ok i got some low offset rims, just some mesh looking rims with a +13 offset but the funnie part is the whole wheel comes out more and my car is very high because if i drop it lower it rubs. how do i drop my car more without it rubbing. here are some pics of the rims oh the size of the rims and tires are 195 60 14s

Well you can get a shorter sidewall tire, roll your fenders, or add some camber.

Default FV-QR

Roll your fenders, negative camber, and stretch some 185/60/14's on them.

14" +13 is pretty aggressive, but very doable.

I'm not even gonna get started on how unnecessary, problematic, ect ect this low offset rice trend is getting, especially without fat lips.

That's probably not much of a stretch--I'll bet those wheels are only 5.5"--no wider than 6".

What is the width of the wheels? +13 on a 5.5" wide wheel is nothing like +13 on an 8" wheel.

if they are 13x5.5 +13 they will only stick out 8mm more than my 16x7+40s

if they are 6" wide they will be 14mm wider.

Well, if yoy look at how much a 195 is bulging on those things, I can't imagine that wheel is any wider than 6".
