I had 215 at the front and 225 at the back with 17x7.
So have you decided to kept the FTO?

225 would be the widest to go on a 7" wide wheel.

there was a pretty good site i found (like the miata tyre size calculator) that showed you a visual of the offset and wheel size that would affect your car compared to stock. dont remember what the url for the site was though. maybe search google for "offset calculator"
+38 sounds like u might need spacers or something to go wider than 215 because the stock wheels are around +35 afaik. i think they'd be around 2cm closer to the shock abosorber by default
