too low = 'pushed out too far' they would probaly fit if you had a wide body kit .... but to run a wide body kit and run wheel no wider than you can fit under standard arches with the correct offset is madness.
I have 7" wide wheels on the front of my FB with a 38mm offset and the clearance to the strut is a fraction of and inch ... not a lot of room on the arch side either !
I would suggest 40mm is safer for 7" wide wheels.
earlier cars are going to need somthing closer to 20-25mm offset (i.e a little more of a lip on the outside depending on the design of the wheels)

i used to run with Konigs on my turbo S2000, had 2 fracture at a track meet and one began to fail on a dyno, now i stick with BBS or stock rims, KONIG's are garbage

Even has the signature Watanabe sign right between the two lugnut holes.BTW, the Konig Rewind's in size 14x7 are only available in -9 offset. You'll need about 1.5" more fender to fit that on our cars.
