I have ST springs and had 18x9 rims with 225/40/18 tires and it was bangin!! I had to extend the rear hubs 5/8" which cost me a little but it looked great. I got rid of the rims, though. I still have a set of 18s for sale...
Anyway, STs are low and had no problem...

I'm impressed with the price of the st springs but my main concern is extending the rear hub. I have 18x7 rims with a 40mm offset. do you think I'll run into the same problem and if so give me a ball park figure on extending the rear hubs.

No you will not run into that problem, I guarantee you that. And if you did a search on that I doubt you would find anything so everyone chill out. I have no idea what you would type ot get the info you're lookin for on the SEARCH.
Your offset and tire size are fine for any drop with spring kit. My 18s were 9 inches wide. VERY wide wheels. That's why I had to extend the rear wheels. I still have them that way, because it would cost too much to have them go back, but it actually adds high speed stability.

This is such a true statement. I've been with this site for a couple of months now and have only posted 2 or 3 times. I feel I have learned sooooo much from the search funtion, yet my name still says I finally posted something!
