I don't think those will clear, they make a f body specific wheel but only for stock width rear as far as I have seen.

I'm looking to buy that same wheel set up and plan on some drag brakes to make it work.

Nope, you will have to run drag brakes. Billet Specialties LS1 specific wheel is only offered in a 7.5 backspace. Welds RTS wheels are built to clear oem LS1 brakes in all sizes, widths, and backspaces.

From what ive read for somr reason the non f body specific wheels require an extensive amount of grinding much further than normal prostars or draglites require. To an extreme amount. I don't have any personal experience with those wheels, just what ive read a few times.
