So it would seem.

Seen this debate before. Jack it up, slam it, or rake it.

Back to the OP, I like the color and body work on the Demon. I'm a fan of filling up the wheel well. However, I am not a fan of different size wheels on a car, be it Plymouth or Porsche.

Reasons:

1. Larger rear diameter tires transfer weight forward making the car plow like a tractor.
2. Different size tires make carrying a spare problematic. Different diameter tires on the rear can damage a locking differential.
3. Larger diameter rear tires act like a rear gear change. Depending on how much change there is it can be like going from a 3.55:1 to a 3.23:1.
4. While a taller wider tire widens the contact patch (good) it also shortens it (bad). This trades decreased acceleration and braking capability for increased cornering capability.

I own a 2014 Dart SXT Rallye that has 225/45-17 tires. Within the first week of ownership, I had to replace the right front tire because the sidewall was cut. This happened while making a left turn at an intersection. The light turned yellow as I entered the intersection, I accelerated moderately to clear the intersection and hit a pot hole which caused the damage to the tire. The tire could not be repaired.
