90RS,

You can get wheels with a greater positive offset, or get the same offset with wider wheels and tires. There is generally more space on the inside area than the standard 15" wheels take up, so wider wheels are fairly easy on the rear. The offset on teh front end is a bit different, since the track is a bit wider. If you want a little wider stance on the rear, you can install a pair of front 16 x 8" wheels from a ThirdGen on the rear, since they already have a bit more positive offset. The fronts and rears are different in the 16" sizes, by a little over an inch.
