So I've settled on getting a set of Streets...in addition to the 10.5 (8.3" tread) there is an 11.5 (9.6" tread) for only a few dollars more... would the 11.5 be a problem or even worth it for 450whp? Friction losses, clearance, ect?

There are cars with way more power than even our built cars hooking on 10" slicks, BUT they are dedicated drag cars.
Take into account you probably wont fully set up your alignment and suspension strictly for dragging, its safe to assume you will have some negative camber (less contact patch), which will only go more negative under launching as you squat.
Being that you are FI, Id opt for the 11.5". If I was NA even built NA Id do the 10.5".

Aren't the FD wheels 8"....if so the contact patch for a 10.5 and 11.5 won't be too terrible different....maybe a .5". Personally I think both will be fine. I just think the 10.5 is more than enough for 400-450whp. I used to use 10.5" slick on my honda (~500whp) and it would dead hook with a lot of heat in it.

In drag, wider tires don't mean you'll cut better short times or even go faster. You only go as wide as you need to; any more would be a waste of money and your ET will suffer. You need to take into consideration weight and especially air resistance (ex. skinnies on the fronts). I would've opted for the 10.5" ET Streets for the said reasons.
And your rubbing, as Scott said, depends on your offset.
