So I am having second thoughts about selling my wheels. I have a set of ST coils at home, and was wondering what else I needed to fit the 18x9.5s with 245 tires? I know I need camber plates, but what are the reccomended specs?

If you already have coilovers you are not going to have an problems. Just install the coilovers and fit your wheels and get rear lower control arms too dial in camber for rear.

Here is a thread to help you out.

Yes, that is correct. The main issue with that size on stock suspension is the spring perches. With coilovers it eliminates those perches so you have more clearance. You should not have any issues just keep in mind that you may not able be able to run a lot of camber in the front depending on tire size.
