Yep, the wheels will hit the spring perch of the struts. With a coilover, that perch is gone and the springs are much smaller, giving extra inside clearance.

Saw that thread and the natural camber from his 2" drop is probably around 2+ degrees. He has clearance inside, just not outside. And he was still running a 225 wide tire up front to avoid rubbing the outer fender. No ways would you fit a 265 up front with that combo.

Thanks for being patient with a new car enthusiast

They won't fit. If you were stock they might, but would stick out a shit-ton, and you'd have to run a skinny tire anyways. You could add a 5mm spacer and they "might" fit, but then, you'll have more issues with the fenders.
Your best bet for a wide wheel is a 18x9 +35. You can run this setup with springs and no one will notice the extra 1/2". And you could easily run a 245, even a 255/35 with the right camber.
Or buy coilovers.
