not sure if im correct in saying this but... if your offset is 38mm that means that the center part that is gonna touch your hub is +38mm "offset" from the center of the wheel. the positive offset will put it closer to the outer face of the wheel. (like and 8"wheel with 0mm offset would have the center part where it attaches to the hub 4in from both the front and back sides of the wheel) so from what i understand the 38mm offset really only affects if the wheel will hit/rub the suspension or if you will need to roll fenders.

will these wheels hit the calipers... i think that is just mostly up to the design of the wheel and how the spokes are designed. like i said, this is just what i have come to understand, not sure if im right

oh one more thing. 18x9.5 +38mm seems to be a pretty common wheel size for evos. i have this on my car right now. no rubbing of suspension parts but that could be because i have spacers to help the wheels clear the calipers.
