Thanks! Seems like most people opt for the 225/40 tire on this setup; any benefits of one over the other (225/40 vs 245/35)? I do like the idea of a shorter side wall.
Also, I dont want any poke in the front, which means if Im flush in the front, I'll be sunken in a tad bit in the rear with a square setup, right?
How low is your drop? My Sportlines ship tomorrow!

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.
