16"x8" Rim offset for an FC?

Ok, I've done some research, and asking around. I am getting Volk TE-37's. Pretty much I have gathered that I will need 38mm offset for 16x8's. Does anybody disagree with this?

I don't see a problem... 8inches = 203.2mm and the stock tires are 205mm

The stock wheels have a 40mm offset so the rim will be centered only 2mm wider than stock. If 205mm wide tires fit with that offset... I don't think that 203.2mm wheels (8 inches wide) will be a problem.

Just a little math and logic.
