Default slicks question

looking into hitting the strip occasionally in the coming months, interested in a pair of used M/T et drag slicks w/ 50% tread left w/ 15" Crager rims the dimensions are 26x10x15 with 4.5" back spacing. i am not very educated on wheel sizes but i have 17" stock rims on my car and i want to get slicks so that i don't burn of my street tires at the track. my car is also lowered 1 1/2 inches...does this affect my clearance with this tire. the current owner that i might buy them from uses them on an 04 Gt but i don't know what mods he has. any help would be greatly appreciated.
also i was going to go with the nitto 555's but i just can't afford them at this point, this is more of my price area.

I'll say there gonna' rub on launch, also 4.5" backspacing doesnt sould right 5.5" backspace is what is usally required on a SN-95 and if your going tobe launching on slicks, I highly recommend getting a rear end cover girdle...........
