The rears don't come in the correct backspace for a 93-02 car. With a 15x10 wheel you need at least a 7.50" backspace. Not to mention those heavy China wheels won't fit without grinding. Sure they're cheap, but there's a reason why they're so cheap. If you're going to look into a drag setup, I'd suggest a wheel that's specifically designed for an LS1 vehicle, such as the Weld RTS wheel, or Bogarts new street wheels.

Yeah those wont work. The backs are wrong backspacing and the fronts wont fit the breaks. You need to look for a 15x3.5 with 1.75 bs for front and 15x10 with 7.5 bs for the rear

I think you mean 15x10 with 7.5" backspace.

Either way, I'd stay away from the China made Summit/Jegs wheels personally.
