What kind of bike is it and how do you know the rake offset is 28 mm? Seems highly unusual. The road bike fork rake offsets I've seen have been in the 38 to 50 mm range.
My experience has been that a change offset 3 mm will make a significant difference.
If the owner is concerned about appearance perhaps straighter fork legs is what he really wants. Fork rake offset is not dependent on curvature.
