Offset for 14 wheels?
Hey guys, this is kind of an unconventional question as most people dont keep their 14 wheels. When I bought the car it had basically brand new BFGoodrich Radial T/As on it but the stock wheels are sooo ugly (steelies with hubcaps), Ive been looking at some American Racing wheels due to their price, Ive narrowed it down to either the Torq Thrust Ds or the Classic Torq thrust 2s. My wheels are 14x6s, with no offset. The ones Im looking at say -2mm of offset. Would this cause the wheels to stick out too far and rub when I turn the wheel or anything? Thanks
EDIT: this translates to a 3.42 backspace if that helps anybody... Im having a hard time deciding between the two wheels based on looks

Also does anybody know the difference between the Torq Thrust IIs and the Torq Thrust Ds? They look very very similar to me. I did notice the IIs are a couple bucks cheaper and also weigh about 5lbs less each so I may go with them for acceleration and fuel economy
