No - it would fit nicely...it would not look overly aggressive.

Picture a rim standing vertically. Now picture cutting through the center of the wheel, perfectly in half.

Offset is the distance from the center of the wheel. A positive offset has the mounting section more toward the outer lip of the wheel. A negative offset has the mounting section more toward the inner lip of the wheel.

A more negative offset looks more aggressive but can cause fitment problems or rubbing as it tends to "stick out" more.
