I agree with this. If you want to keep stock diameters to keep your traction control systems, speedometer, etc. functioning as intended, you will end up with front sidewalls that are 1" taller than rear sidewalls. Front will have a meatier look and rear will have a low-pro/rubber band look.
But if you don't care about throwing your systems off balance and want to follow your vision, don't half-ass it... do it all the way! Put meat on both front and back sidewalls so they look similar (rear will end up taller for more rake). I believe the rear wheel opening looks slightly larger than the front to accommodate more wheel/tire. Here is my car that looks slightly raked even though front and rear are dropped at the same height and tires are square. It is because the rear fender flares outward more making the wheel look tucked and the rear wheel well opening looks slightly larger than the front (maybe due to the short overhang of the rear bumper). Though I wouldn't do it myself as it kills some functionality, a larger rear wheel/tire might fill the rear better, aesthetically.
