is +38mm offset correct for 17x8 wheels?

I can get a pretty good deal on some chrome 17x8 wheels, and was wondering if the +38mm offset is correct for a 95 Z28? Thanks a lot in advance

The stock 8" wide wheel has a 55mm offset. That means your 38mm offset will move the wheels about another 3/4" toward the outside of the fender. You have to decide if you like that look.

The outside of the wheel/tire will sit eactly where my 17x9.5 56mm ZR1 replicas sit in this picture (front only... the back are 11's).
