Fill your car up with people and drive around a few corners and over a few bumps... see if it rubs... If it doesn't rub... and if you like the look... I'd say you're done.
Looks good to me, but I like the aggressive look...

Does anyone advise against this?
I'm looking for slightly more traction from a dig.

That looks fine to me. The big reason is that the coupe wheels are lower offset so they stick out a bit more.
If it bothers you that much get some 235's.
PS that looks high for Z springs. Did you get coupe springs? The coupe will give you 0.5", the Z will be 1".

Honestly, I don't see how this would rub much, if at all. Follow _jb's advice and drive around a bit and see what happens.
