I also will likely have a set of Eibach Sportline springs (-1.4") in the mail this week, going to coils before Winter. I also will want to bring camber as close back to spec as possible.
Any issues?
Also, I want to bring the rear wheels out close to flush - maybe 10-15mm? For that adjustment, I saw that adapters (as opposed to spacers/bolts) would be a better option? Haven't really found too much on people running with adapters. Input?

If you go with square wheels, I'd go for square tires (pun intended).
235/40R18 is a bit tall and since these go on the rears, they will affect gearing a bit too. Plus with a true square setup, tire wear will be better because you can rotate properly from front to back.
I'd go for a 245/35R18 tire as it is a perfect size for a 8.5" wheel (on my 9's they look slightly stretched), plus also an exact match for the OEM diameter. You could also go with a 225/40R18 if you don't want to go this wide. (and a 235/35R18 is a pretty hard find btw)
You shouldn't need to run adapters or spacers in the rear, this combo will put you flush already.
