Your scheme looks a little better than I expected based on the marked-up templates I posted.
I still think there will be slight bulges or blisters for the leading edges of the front tires (as in the 3-wheel red clay car I did), but it should all work out.
You could have a longer overhang in front and smaller wheel blisters, but every time I work it in clay, it looks better this way. Maybe not the best aero, but life is full of compromises.
Porsche 944 style wheel blisters, might be the answer?

Original seating position but possibly lowered seat due to the lower roof. I basically rebodied it.
Would you mind doing a side view of your ideas? It's hard to see where the driver is going to sit- the first couple sketches show the driver sitting on the front axle. Was this intentional?
Personally I like the single "bubble" look for three reasons: It looks simpler, it's more aerodynamic and it will be many times easier to create in fiberglass. The front should not be hard to form around the wheels if you take it like any one-box minivan does.
Maybe even put a little crease in there like the Honda Elysion.
