Should have gone with 35 series tire. You can do the rear spring mount cut to take care of that gap.

Take this guy serious. I have a bigger rear gap than front. I went to Menards to get some salt for my water softner. I put them in my trunk. On my way home I passed by a friend's house. He looked at my car and asked "Did you lower your Z. It looks awsome". I looked at it myself and guess what, it was lowered. Problem is, I cannot drive around with salt in my trunk.

Theres your problem. You will never be able to fill that gap because your front tire is larger (circum/diameter) than your rear. The only way you will fill it is to have the back of your car lower than the front.

I also have the 30 profiles as opposed to the 35. But for me it is because of the benefit of getting shorter gears and increased acceleration. I have to sacrafice the look of my rear being as dropped as the front, though, to get this added performance.

If looks matter as much, go out and get 35 profile rears and replace them, and your drop will look perfect, but it will slow the car down more.
