As mentioned previously the limitation with ST coilovers is that it uses a progressive spring that is cone shaped which creates for much less wheel and tire clearance in front. If you raise the spring perch or "adjusting collar" above the wheel and tire then you should be fine with clearances. As a solution to the progressive springs we always recommend a linear spring conversion using 6 inch hyperco, swift, or eibach springs and camber plates to create the most room possible in front as we can.
ST coilovers as shipped with progressive springs can be run with 18x8.5" ET45 ARC-8's and 235/40/18 tires as long as you make sure the spring perch or "adjusting collar" is above the wheel and tire.
