? about widening wheels

The wheels I want to get only come in a 38mm offset and the widest they come in is 18x9. I can have them widened 1" in the rears to fit a 295 tire out back but I dont know if the wheels will still fit. If im calculating right the offset after widening would be 63.4mm. Can a 18x10" wheel fit on the rear with a 63.4 offset and a 295-35 series tire? Thanks for any help

I also plan on lowering the car about 1" if that changes anything.

Well I think your math is a little off, you are adding 1" to the back side of the wheel, so the center line of the wheel is not increasing by 1", it increased by 1/2" or 12.7 mm. So the offset is 38 mm + 12.7 mm or a total offset of 50.7 mm. It should fit OK. I ran 58 mm 10.5" wheels for a while.
