Tire/wheel/offset question

[D.T.R]

Ok guys, while waiting for my car to be built and delivered, I've been looking into some DD wheels, for every day... i want something that looks good but nothing crazy. I do however, care for them to be light and fairly priced... so I did make up my mind and going with Enkei RPF1s in Matte Black. I was thinking of going with 18s, in either 9.5" wide, or 10.5" wide. The offset i was interested on is +15.
Would I have any issues if I go with either one of the 18x9.5 +15/ 18x10.5 +15 wheels with 295/45/18 Nittos NT05 ? The car will be at stock height for a little bit and eventually lowered on some suspension good for drag racing... (cobra jet springs or something of that sort, not sure yet) but the car's purpose is drag racing, not car shows or anything of that sort... i just want a decent looking wheel and hopefully i won't have clearance issues nor will they make the car look 4x4 ?
Any input is highly appreciate guys.

If I remember when I bought my wheels, A +45 offset on the 9.5 and +55 on the 10.5
295/45/18 is a tall tire. Same tire thats on a GenII Lightning

^ Are you sure we have to run that much offset?

If you don't the wheels will stick out of the fender wells

The Ford 9" wide wheels are 42mm offset 6.7" back space, the 10" are 47.5mm offset 7.4" back space

18x10.5 +15 is too aggressive for the rear. I love the RPF1s I was actually planning on get a set 18x10 +38 all around or 19x9.5 +22 or +42 all around.

I think i'm going to do the +38 all around then

My rears are 9.5" on a 35mm offset. The wheel lip sits completely flush with the fender, now depending on what size or brand tire I run it either will tuck or buldge out a little.

^ nice. What size tires are you running?
and are you lowered? if so, how much ?

Lowered on sportlines no rubbing. With 285/35/19 invos the tires do buldge a little. With other brand tires in the same size they will tuck.

I run the RTR rims which are 19X9.5" at a 33-35mm I forget which offset with 285-35-19 Mickey thompson street comps and they sit pretty flush. Not 100% flush but they look like they stick out a little more than they do here. Last picture is somewhat head on and you really can't see them stick out.
