If I'm getting 1.65s now, would it be safe to assume the drag radials will get me into the 1.5s?

I am not sure how much they would help but as far as fitment:
Nitto 555R's 245-45-17 sticky
BFG Gforce DR 225-45-17 stickier
Mickey Thomp. 275-40-17 stickiest(need a 17x9 wheel for best fit)
The BFG's run extremely wide for the size listed...the BFG 225's look like 245's from another manufacturer.

Going wider isn't going to help its just going to add weight. The best drag tire for the stock rim would be a sticky soft sidewall 225/45/17.
I've pulled a 1.60 on 2 year old snow tires with the stock clutch. If you look around many people have made their quickest short time on snow tires.
