Anyone with 18 8.75 on 245/35 and about an inch of drop, do the tops of the front tires still poke out so much? All of the pics with that setup ive seen have the tires turned so I cant tell. I was looking at the TRD springs.

Pretty sure it'll poke with 8.5 in the front. I looked at a ton of pictures with 8.5 all around and they're all the same...poke up front.

I don't mind some, but at stock height my front tires stick out at the top quite a bit.

I just bought a set of 18x8.75 527s and I'm getting my Eibach Sportline springs this week, would I need wheel spacers to have my wheels sit completely flushed?

No. The rear will look flush. The front may poke out just a tiny bit. No spacers needed.

To fix the poke in the front you can add camber bolts and dial in negative camber.

Good color choice, hopefully your paint won't chip though. Mine are going for a powder coating this winter, hoping they can match the matte bronze.
