I asked them about it and they said they didnt have any clearance issues with the coilovers installed. They are running 235/40/18.

You're never going to fit with stock suspension without a spacer, especially when you drop and add camber. For reference, my wheels I just installed, at stock height, stock camber there is 3mm of clearance from perch to wheel/tire. This is on a 18x9 +42 with 245/35/18. Now your setup will be 9mm further in than mine, so interfering 6mm at stock height. Now when you lower and add camber you are likely interfering closer to 10-15mm. Hope that helps. Coilovers are the way to go if you are dead set on those wheels. If Jive could measure his clearance it will be a good indication of what tire size you can run.
This guy hit it right on the head. If you want to run those wheels with no spacer than you will need coilovers. Otherwise you will probably need at least a 5mm spacer or so to get what I would call a comfortable amount of strut tower clearance.
