Default 2mm difference in offset?

Long story short, I ordered a set of 4 Z06 Chrome wheels in 17 x 9.5 56mm offset. I had a bad vibration on the highway and though it was my tire balance, but it turns out that one wheel is warped, has excessive lateral run out and wobbles left to right. The company has history of bad customer service and follow thru on complaints from it's customers <I find this out after I order of course>. I can only find 17 x 9.5's in 54mm thru all other manufacturers. Of course I'm shooting for free replacement on the wheel, but if it has to come out of my pocket I'm not gonna give them another dime. Would it be noticable to have 3 56mm offset wheels and one 54mm offset? I'm running 275/40/17 on all four.
Thanks!

Probably not noticeable. But if it makes you feel any better, you can buy 2mm wheel spacers pretty much anywhere, including ebay.
