Rim Offset

I am looking to get some alloy 14" rims and see that most have an offset of about 38 and was wondering if this will affect the steering and overall feel compared to the 45 offset of the stock rims.

yeah it will feel 10 times better and make the car more stable and look better.

looks a whole lot better, not so sure about handling yet.

Will it become stiffer, looser, more or less responsive? Please explain further.

not really, just more stable because the wheels will be out more.
