How far you potentially can lower the offset depends on your fender clearance and your personal aesthetic taste. On most cars you're safe to decrease offset by 10mm and can go farther out of there is fender space and you like the look. People who use spacers effectively lower their offset by pushing the wheel out 10-20 mm. I personally don't recommend using spacers because they can be a hassle in multiple ways.
