245(f) & 275(r) tires: How do they handle?
Excuse me for being noobish here, but what do you mean by "tucked?" Do you mean the fender flare sticks out laterally further than the sidewall of the tire, or do you mean the road surface of the tire sticks up higher than the bottom of the wheel well (is that possible?)?

No problem. I personally like the Eibachs over the Tanabe springs because Eibachs seem to give a more balanced overall result. You might have to search for pics between the 2 but Eibach is a crowd favorite.
If you get wheels, you can get different offsets to "bring the wheels out" more so they sit more flush with the fenders to eliminate some tucking. You don't necessarily have to get coils. But stock wheels with a drop will give you some tire tuck.

So another noob question.... 
I'm running stock wheels with Eibach Pro Kit, and one of these days I'm gonna get around to buying new tires. I'm gonna go with 245 front and 275 rear, and I would obviously prefer them more "flush" than "tucked." Can I just throw some spacers behind the stock wheels without any rubbing issues, or would that endeavor be more complicated than simply adding spacers?

Yes, spacers would work.

Danny, you seem to be quite knowledgeable about this topic!! So if I run stock wheels on Eibach Pro Kit springs with 245/275 tires, then I should be able to go with 10mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers in the rear? I don't have a camber kit, just aligned as close to spec as possible after the spring install. Does that matter?
Thanks but I wouldn't call myself knowledgeable. I just spew out what I know 
I will be able to tell you if you can tell me the stock offset on our wheels. I'm gonna be on Eibachs, 245f, 275r too, except 20x9 and 20x10.

15mm spacer in the rear makes it +30
10mm spacer in the front makes it +33
I think that'll be fine. You may be able to go a little bit more aggressive with the stocks, but I think spacers only go up by increments for 5, no less. So I'd just stick with 10f and 15r. How about new wheels?
