Default Whats this Niche shock offset?

Hey guys, looking thru the web and I see this video of a Del sol with prob 15x7 ish niche shocks, very clean look but I want a 2nd opinion on the offset. I want a nice thick lip for my 95 Ej and a good reason to roll the fenders..thanks!

Those rims look horrible. Just get some nice 15x7's of your choice and wrap them with good sticky 205/50's and youll be set!

The wheels apparently look even worse while not in motion.

I mostly am finding information on them in 17" and 18" varieties.

Also found this comment by chance:

Well guys, thanks for the info, I def am WAY past high school rice-ideas for my Ej..I believe the wheels I first spotted were a Schmidt "Space 1-tlg" instead of a Niche, but there was a very low offset viariable. I wanna simple 3 inch lip and a def fender roll. and nothing closer to rice! lol
