It really depends on the wheels. If you have stock then the one inch spacers are fine. If you are going aftermarket then just got Tue right offset and you don't have to worry about it.
I've got 5mm spacers on my wheels. I wanted them to get closer to the fenders. Have 20x9.5 with a 35 offset. Make sure you get hub centric ones so there is no vibrations.

If you add a spacer and drive aggressively, Guilty as charged, Be sure you have studs capable of handling the increased load and that the spacer is hub centric, This being an extension of the hub. Several companies make them.
Some of the thicker spacers come with their own lugs. These are usually a strong set up.
If you driving the canyons hard or want to track the car, be sure you have some strength at the wheels.
On another forum a few of the track rats rented Mustang GTs at a driving school. The school had a grippier wider tire. One guy broke two stock studs and another 3. No spacers, just stock studs. The school immediately upgraded to ARP studs.
Be safe.

Buy the Correct wheels. I have seen to many issues with them. They are really not safe. Changes the geometry of the front end.
Not safe. TMSBOSS has it right make sure if you use them to get longer studs and the correct lug nuts.

Wheel offset changes the geometry of the front end too, that's why too much positive offset and/or too thick of a spacer is not recommended, especially for the front end.
