a 38 offset with 9.5" wheel is going to be very close. at worse case you will have to roll the fenders and srun a stretched tire size. instead of a 265 tire you may have to run 255. i would just get the right offset so you can run the proper tire size. rolling the fenders in no big deal, but if you have to do both, why?
here is how offset works, the lower the number the futher the wheel is pushed outward and the higher the number the opposite effect. so a 35 offset wheel will stick out 3mm futher than a 38 offset. for a 8.5" wheel you could run a 33-38 offset and the right tire size and not have to do any modifications. on a 9.5-10" wheel a 40+ offset will fit the best. the oem wheel offset for the sedan is 45. just remember to take in consideration the right tire size as well. i know the stretched tire will get you more aggressive offsets, but IMHO, it looks like a$$ and provides no protection for your wheels.
