Max wheel/tire size for 15" wheel?

I am considering a set of Aluma Stars for my mullet mobile, and was wondering what offsets and sizes I could use on the back with a 15" wheel. I'll be running drag radials, and I don't mind rolling some metal, but I don't want them rubbing on the street.

So, what offset should I order on a 15x9 or 15x10 wheel, and what size DRs?

For the fronts, I'm thinking a 15x4 Aluma star, but what offset there? I'm going to run some tires with a smallish sidewall.

Thanks!

I had 15x10 on the rear with 305/50r15 for a short time. I had to roll the quarter panel lips to prevent rubbing, but they did fit inside the wheel well. Wheel backspacing was just under 5.5"
