Have ST Coilovers. Want Klutch SL14 18/8.5F,18/9.5R. Need Camber Plates?
I just recently has ST Coilovers installed (1" drop all around, I'm in NJ so anything lower and potholes will be the end of me) and the next step is some proper wheels in the form of Klutch SL14s in the following configuration:
18/8.5 +35 fronts with 235/35/18 tires 18/9.5 +30 rears with 255/35/18 tires What all do I still need to do to make this work? Camber plates? Arms? Bolts? Spacers? I had hoped just getting the coilovers was enough to give me the ride and clearance needed to get the wheels/tires I want, but now it seems I might need even more in order to get the wheels to fit and in order to get a proper alignment? Any and all help much appreciated.

Step 1. Remove stock wheels
Step 2. Install new wheels Step 3. Beer Did you check the fitment thread at all? You don't even need the coilovers for clearance. The rears may be close to the fender, but TiC had 18x9.5 +30 all around with 265s. You'll be fine, although negative camber in front is a nice thing to have. Camber bolts should be plenty.

Thanks for the reply, I feel better now!
Yes, I've read through just about every reference for the Klutch SL14 on the forums, I thought I kept seeing references to folks talking about needing to adjust camber to make the fitments work...Or that it was required in order to get a properly alignment done.

You're welcome. But don't get too hung up on the brand/model of wheel other than looks. Unless you're getting a big brake kit, only worry about the wheel measurements. In that sense, every 18x9.5 +30 wheel is the same. Some wheel designs have more brake clearance at certain offsets than others, but stock brakes should be no issue whatsoever.
