Konig wheels offsets compared to stock offset w/ 205 50 16 tires??

I currently have 205 50 16 with stock rims on my ex fit right now and have no issues with tire rubs or anything. Everything is stock such as suspension wise and rims but my question is, I am looking into konig wheels that are 7.5 inches wide and noticed that their offset is +38mm compared to the stocks +53mm. What I have right now is .4 inches wider than previously with the 185 tires and with no tire rub, so with that being said if I were to go with the konig it’ll be .59 inches further out. Definitely don’t wanna switch back to stock tires as I just barely got these tires 4 months ago lol. So My question is, would it possibly get tire rubbed? I don’t want to do any fender work to it so I like to avoid it if possible.

Are you lowered or on stock suspension?

there is a chance it rubs, yes

205/50/16 is very similar in height to the stock 185/55/16. 205/40/16 is significantly shorter.

Again, it may not rub or it may. It will almost certainly poke past the fenders.
