(back on topic) My question (even though I know you went with 305's on the rear), do the oversize rear tires look out of place on the sport rim? I have seen in many cases with oversizing the tire on stock rims and they look like the Michelin man.

Here are some pics with the 305/30/19 rear and 20mm spacers and 1"inch drop. IMO: I don't think the tire bulge is all that bad, but Ideally I would prefer a 10.5 rim :-)
As far as 25mm spacers go, I personally wouldn't do it, unless you have some neg camber, as it stands with mine I dialed out the camber with some SPC adjustable arms, the 25mm spacers would probably make the tire stick out past the fender.
