I was thinking of ordering some wheels but they have a 30 mm offset, I know that 32mm is okay but I wanted to make sure before i got them any help?

I'd say no for the front, possibly on the rear.

The front would be out past the wheel arch by ~1/4" before the tire is mounted and I don't know if there would be suspension clearance issues with a 9.5" wheel.

Suspension clearance there would be none. It will poke a little in the back but the front you could get to fit fine with some camber

My previous reply is meant as to not use that offset on the front. Sorry if I caused confusion.

Sticks out of the* and they are all the same size and its the only ones i can get like that. So i shouldnt get them? I know 32mm is fine so would 30mm be a big deal

45mm is the correct offset for '05-current Mustangs. But it really depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Street driving, road racing, 45mm is the way to go.
