Default Wheel offset

In looking to possibly get a second set of wheels for my 07, I've run into a question of wheel offset differences.

What, if anything, would be the effect of a set of new rear wheels having 5mm greater offset than the current set? Would this create any issues, problems, etc?

Thanks for your help!

The lower the offset #, the further the wheel will stick out. I run 26mm offset wheels on my GT and they stick out just a lil bit past the fender, i have 275-40-18's. If you are planning to run the rear wheels with a lower numerical offset and a tall tire, you may run into rubbing issues with the fender.
