The wheel spacing itself will correct, or increase, the offset and properly push the wheel out. The spacers can also be change out to provide a better spacing and offset.

What is a offset on a wheel?
offsets are determined from center of wheel front to back if bolt holes are front of center then its front-spacing if behind center it's back-spacing measure wheel front to back and then lay wheel on front and measure to back of bolt hole that gives you offset if any.
What is backspacing on 1994 Ford Mustang?
Back spacing is a wheel term. It is the back spacing of the wheel, to allow a larger tire to fit in the wheel well. It is built into the rim, so you have to order them with the proper backspacing, or officially called negative offset. A tire and wheel shop will have a tool that they can bolt onto your car, to determine maximun allowable offset, when ordering wheels.
Is a 40 offset of a car rim bigger or smaller than a 38 off set which will sit in more than the other 40 or 38?
Depends if it is a negative or positive offset. Rear spacing (or backspacing) is the distance between the wheel's inboard edge and its mounting pad. It can be measured by using a ruler and a straightedge set across the backside rim of the wheel. If you have a "positive" offset, the mounting pad is in front (or outboard) of the rim centerline. This situation most commonly occurs on front-wheel-drive applications. To picture this more accurately, think of the convex design of many wheels found on front-drivers; the center of the wheel sticks out further than the edges of the wheel. If there's a "negative" offset, the mounting pad is behind (or inboard of) the rim centerline. This is typical for most standard rear-wheel-drive vehicles and "reversed" rims. Sometimes, this style is referred to as a "deep-dish" wheel. For example, an 8-inch wide, 3-inch-rear spacing wheel would have a 1-inch negative offset. Conversely, if the same 8-inch wheel had a 5-inch rear spacing, it would then have a 1-inch positive offset. Finally, if the same wheel had a 4-inch rear spacing (which is exactly half its width) then the wheel would have what's known as a "zero offset." In wheel-measurement designations, the diameter is listed first, followed by the width. A 16x7-inch wheel has a diameter of 16 inches and a width of 7 inches. Diameter is measured where the tire rests, not from lip to lip.

What is a wheel offset?
Is the estimated tuck in or out from the center of the wheel, example: (nissan sentra) 18x7.5 +40 offset is tucking in 40 mm from the center of the wheel or (old chevy pickup) 15x7.0 -10 offset is sticking out 10 mm from the center of the wheel.
Will 1999 mustang wheels fit a 2005 mustang?
No they will not. The newer mustang require a different offset and backspacing than previous models. The bolt pattern is the same, but the wheels will sit differently under one model than the other.For instance, 17X9 bullitt wheels for a 2005 mustang use a :Back Spacing: 6.8" (172mm) Offset: +45mm (1.8")while the same wheels(17X9 bullitt) meant for a 1999 mustang use a:Back Spacing: 5.94" (151mm) Offset: +24mm (0.94")the offset is the problem here. backspacing is very close, but it is the offset that does not allow the wheel to sit on both cars in the same way.hope this helps.
What would the effect be from changing the wheel offset from 55mm to 45mm?
The stock wheel has a 55 mm positive offset. Positive offset means that the wheel is tucked into the fender well 55mm more than it would be if the bolt flange of the wheel were perfectly centered in the wheel. Negative offset means that the wheel will stick out of the fender well more. So........ If you reduce (55mm-45mm) the positive offset my 10mm, your wheels and tires will stick out of your fenderwells 10mm further than the stock wheel, assuming that the aftermarket wheel is the same width as the stock wheel.
