Wider tires on sport rims?

Overall the car feels very good, great tire for the money.
I'm running the Eibach springs with 15mm frt & 20mm rear wheel spacers. No rubbing issues on the fenders what so ever. However since these tires are slightly smaller in height I have notice that my front wheel air diffusers and chin spoiler scrape more often on driveways and large bumps. I was hoping to go with coil overs and lessen the wheel gap by about 1/2 inch more, but now I'm re-thinking that. I would definitely have to remove the chin and wheel deflectors if I did that, I'm actually considering taking them off now.

(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.

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.
