Default question about wheels and offsets

my cousin has some 18" rims collecting dust in his garage and i'm trying to get them from him. only problem is the offset on the rims are 37mm and the minimum offset on my 97 ES is 38mm. someone told me i could buy "spacers" to make it fit? i don't know much about rims so if any of you have done this before or can point in the direction on where i can find spacers i would appreciate it. i found this offset calculator online and it said that i would need to extend it out 14mm. i think that comes out to half an inch. i don't know.

They should fit fine. If you end up finding a 14mm spacer let me know where I need a little bigger spacer for my rears. If you do end up needing a spacer that big you will need longer studs let me know on that too I had to do it on mine.
