When you address the underbody everything will be dependent on the size and offset of the four tires protruding into the air flow.

I'd consider fitting BMW i3 tires (w/ appropriate wheels) with an offset such that they flush to the standard body panels. aerohead appreciates a round air intake at the stagnation point.



That Photochop was intended for a VW flat fourin front. With the stock Prius drivetrain it needn't be any bigger than this:
