I know somebody who ran 245/45-18's on NF springs who had some mild rubbing, but since the TRD springs are a little stiffer and drop a little less in the rear, combined with slightly smaller 235/45 tires, I'm thinking you should be OK. Worst case would be a light fender rolling to give just a little more clearance.

I just bought a 2009 xB (super white) Don't see to many white ones.

I'm gonna be putting these on it this friday. They are 18x8 with 225/40/18 tires and +45.

I was wondering if I could do a eibach pro-kit, I just want to level out the back. Input is appericated

The Pro-Kit drop is 1"F/1.2"R so it won't level it out much.

I suggest the Tanabe NF210's which will drop the rear about 3/4" more than the front (1.0"F/1.7"R) and they are little softer spring rate than many other lowering springs, so they will be comfy on your suck MI roads.

18x8 +45 with 225/40 tires won't rub on DF's either, and it will be lower than the NF's, but it won't level out the front to back difference as much as the NF's. Just depends on what you want... more level (NF's), or more low (DF's).
