and by offset i dont know exactly??? you mean just factory specs for a honda civic??? the new rims are 215/40/ 83W

You need new wheels plain and simple. 7J width is the max you can go on a Honda. You can go 215 width tires if running "16s, but you'll still have rubbing issues. Whoever sold you the wheels should have known about you can't be wider than a 205 tire when on "17's or larger wheels when they are on a Honda, obviously they were just out to make some $$$ off of you without a care in the world.
Your only other option is to put back in your stock suspension since camber won't help you any, but make things worse rather. I'd sell the wheels and start over fresh IMO. Good luck.
And by offset, CivicSiRacer meant for tire size you are running 215/40 17 we already know, but offset is usually a number something like +45 or +38 or some two digit number like that with a "+" sign before the number. It'll be essential for us to know that number to be able to better find a solution to your problem. Example, my 15x6.5 wheels have an offset of +38 Offset will depend on the design of a particular wheel and it's size.
