Will 1mm wheel offset make a difference in handling?

I'm looking for new aftermarket wheels for a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The factory rims are 17x7.5 with an offset of 44mm (from what I can tell anyhow, Ford seems to keep this information from the dealers as they can't tell me and it isn't in the manual).
