Offset question plz help

Hey guys. I'm about to get some new rims. i'm staying pretty much stock size, staying with the tires i have. I've been looking at some 17X7 with a +38 offset. With the +38 offset will the rims poke in or out from the fender more?
Thanks in advance

Sedan, coupe? 17x7 +38 is going to be seriously sunken in on a coupe or a sedan.

17x7 +38 is very conservative.

Those will look terrible, I promise you.

You can fit bigger wheels, you don't need to run civic sizing!

Sorry if forgot to say my car is a 05 sedan X
I'm just trying to get some rims to replace the current ones. the chrome is peeling and starting to rust underneath the chrome in some spots. I won't be lowering the car at all

Do you like your current wheels? You could always refinish them.

^^Won't need spacers on a sedan, they fit pretty flush as is.

I do like them but no one in town fixs rims. I'd have to go down to SLC. I've called places they say they'll fix them but need a few days. The cars my DD so i can't do that. So i figured i'll look for new rims.

I'm trying to stay with the same rim size. The tires are pretty much new 80,000 mile tires that i got last year.
