Default Offset Question...

Hey folks, quick question. What options do I have if I found a wheel I like with the correct 5x120.65 fitment but only a -4mm offset. Explain to me wheel spacers? If it makes a difference I don't plan on taking my car to a track nor do I drag race it or anything. I did a search and found out a few things, but wanted to know what other guys thought.

Heres the one in question...

You won't need a spacer for a -4mm offset wheel. Negative offset means the wheel will be pushed outwards, away from the wheel well. With an offset like that the wheel may stick out of the wheel well giving a lowrider look.

depending on how wide that wheel is, -4mm offset may not be enough.
9.5 wide wheels usually have a +50mm-ish offset to fit right on an f-body.
