Can you mix the same type of wheel with different offsets?

Question

It might sound like a stupid question but I bought some 17" Speedlines and checked the offset on a couple of them and then put them on the car. I can't remeber what the offset was but it was within the suggested range. Anyway I've damaged one of them and managed to get hold of another one,the offset on this one is 55, which again, falls into the suggested range. But will it matter too much if it is different to the others?
I only ask cos it'll save me having to take all the wheels off just to check the offset!!

Cheers

Cheers Hoppy!! :P I did say it was a daft question!!
I took them all off and they were 55 anyway so crisis over!
I also changed the tyre pressures to 32psi all round and the car handles completely different! I've been messing with various combinations for ages and it's amazing how good it feels when it's right!
