Rim size selection for race rubber

A shop recently agreed to get me some deals on wheels that I could use for my race rubber. I was given the option of 18x9.5 with 35mm all around

Default Rim size selection for race rubber

A shop recently agreed to get me some deals on wheels that I could use for my race rubber. I was given the option of

18x9.5 with 35mm all around

18x9.5 with 35mm in front
18x10 with 22mm in rear

I might also be able to do
18x9.5 45mm in front
18x9.5 25mm in rear

What do you guys think I should go with? I am on stock height/suspension and I plan to run 275-295 all around, definitely no stagger tire size. I haven't decided on tires yet, probably going to be R6/NT01s/BFG R1. 35mm seems the best as I currently that setup with my 5Zigens. Here is the problem with the 35mm. The front sits flush if not protrude a few mm past the fender, I am afraid of rubbing issue if I go any bigger, especially if I go 295. The rear is so tucked in that it looks absolutely stupid. The benefit of a stagger setup is easier tire rotation and maintainence. Since I already have a square setup, I am thinking about trying the stagger ones again. What do you guys think?
