Will the tops of my wheels tuck in more the more I drop the car?
... as I remember with my coilovers before, the lower you go... the top of the wheel tucks in more under the fender a bit more?
Like when you jack up your car and the wheels are off the ground, they stick way out of the fender wells.....
Current wheels w/ stock suspension..

No, they'll just rub more.
Believe me... I know.
After changing from Pirelli tires to Michelins, I had to pull my spacers because the difference in tire size made them too wide, causing rubbage around some bumpy turns.

Braid Future 8's. Nope. Just staggered ET's.
I don't like the idea of staggered setups...
No tire rotation + potential AWD problems + poor handling = nothing I'm interested in. ;-)
I've spent enough time, money and effort dialing the understeer out of my car. I don't want something that would re-introduce it.

Hmm, perhaps I should revise: If you want to keep your camber from being retarded...
You will rub.
If you don't care about the rear camber, you can tuck your tires more.
But then you'll have to worry about rubbing on the inside, especially if you're staggered.
