Are you just doing aero mods only for the sake of doing aero mods, or are you trying to achieve some sort of performance target/metric through only reducing drag? What's the end goal?

Yup. Just want to add some support to this logic. It's counter-intuitive, but it works. It's not just this chassis, but it's most every other platform that have a "suboptimal" relationship between...

Your current alignment settings shouldn't cause you too much issue with turn-in. Maybe not ideal but also not a major contributor to the corner entry push. Toe-out would typically quicken turn-in...

It's not just the tire itself or the weight of the wheel/tire combo. You're changing wheel and tire width along with wheel offset compared to stock, so it's probably also increasing scrub radius...
