USCIS will want to see that you have good moral character within the 5 years prior to filing the naturalization application. So, best thing is to wait until you complete 5 years after committing the offense.

In addition, you will want to have an experienced immigration lawyer assess your case to ensure that you are not deportable. For example, if you were convicted within 5 years of obtaining your residency and you received a one year sentence, then you are subject to removal. Thus, talk to an attorney before filing anything.

Best of luck.

Also, depending on the offense it may disqualify you for citizenship. i would also suggest contacting an immigration attorney in your immediate area to properly and fully discuss this matter.
