Nittos (555R) should be good for what you're looking for (dd tires with decent mileage and decent hook). Get the 315/35-17s, they'll fit on a 10.5" or 11" wheel. The NT-01s are road race kinda tires that won't last you long at all.
Every car's different when it comes to rubbing, but it's nothing a BFH can't fix, usually.
Fwiw, I have 315/35 17 Sumitomo's out back with a Prokit drop, and I haven't touched anything in the back (besides adjusting the PHB, which you'll need btw), I don't rub. I did when I was stock ride height, lol. The wheel would rub against the bump stop occasionally, but lowering the car actually fixed my rubbing issue.
You might want to look into Sumitomo's too... If it's a dd with not much track usage at all. Mine are great in the rain, and have decent dry traction. Definitely not a drag radial, but I like to think of them as insurance for my 10 bolt lol. Can't beat $99 for a 315 that'll last a while. Just something to consider.

Buy all your tires from www.discounttiredirect.com NOT www.discounttire.com. Much less inexpensive. Cut out the middle man (store)! Let your local homeboy network install them for less $'s too!

Are you wanting these tires for daily driving or track mostly because if you are using this for track primarily i think the nittos will probly just **** you off, they did for me. If you want to stick, dont do the nittos, i found them only slightly better than street tires launching with much shittier traction in the rain. just my experience...
