That's called a stretch. I've never had any experience with that brand before so I'm not sure how true their tire sizes are. Just get a 285 tire the next time around and you'll be fine.

I am using Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 245/35 and 285/30, I like the set up but can't wait to lower it.

If you are worried about too much drop just go with Eibach and you will be good. You can still get whatever size tire you want on there and won't have any problems with being too low. It definitely cleans up the look.

Coilovers are better because you can control the height of your drop and the stiffness of your ride, but they are more expensive. Some would argue they are the only way to go because with lowering springs you can't control your drop or your ride quality but springs are typically for people who want less of a drop and they are much cheaper. It comes down to how much money you want to spend and how much control you want over your mod just like anything else. There are enough people on the forum that will agree or disagree with either way. Eibach is a brand of lowering springs which is why people refer to them and there are lots of options of costs and quality of coil overs.
