Wheel Offset + driveability?

Wheel Offset + driveability?
So I'm looking at some new Konig Retrack 15x7.5 wheels with a 32mm offset:
I just like the style of them and the price is not bad. Now I was browsing all the usual miata vendors for other wheel ideas, and then I came across Good Win Racing (where I ordered my harddog bar). They have a little write up that says 30mm is race car only, and that 35mm is sort of a compromise. Am I missing something? Could someone explain why they would suggest this?
For my purposes, I'm not going too radical - either a 205/50/15 or 225/45/15 tire. They do make the same version of rim in 15x7 and 40mm offset, but the lip is smaller and I love lip If the car is suddenly going to become undriveable (which I doubt), then I'll get the 15x7's.
Thanks folks

I have some old crappy +38 15x7 rota's (for sale BTW ;D) with 205/50/15 plus a 25mm spacer making the effective offset +15 and there is no rubbing. Granted with my +35 15X8's(same spacers) I had to roll the fenders. Those are nice wheels 225/45/15's would be great on em
