Whats the offset of the wheels. If there around the stock offset you'll be fine. I ran 215/45/17 with a 40 offset on s-techs. No rub and no camber needed.

I run 215/40-17s on 17x7 +35 (or 38) wheels with DF210s, and I do not rub at all. S-Techs won't be a problem unless you're running a terrible offset.

Yup, I have 40 offset. I was wondering where can I get some Tein-S springs at a good rate? Also, if he get a alignment wont that mess up his alignment w/o that cambers? thanks

^^He should not need camber kit or alignment.
For the best price on the Stechs just search google. They just had a huge price increase like a month ago so happy hunting.
Also, when talking about an xB it's just xB. The newer one is known as an xB2.
