your torn between 4 and 3.75? 1/4 inch is not going to be noticeable to the eye when you have tires on it. the tire is going ot have more affect in how it looks then 1/4" difference in back spacing. the back spacing is only to keep your tire from rubbing on anything in the wheel well when you turn or hit bumps.

when i went from 225/50/15 on my bmw to 205/50/15 on 8 inch wheels with 0 offset it made a huge difference in the look. the tires will decide your look, not that minimal offset difference.
