With a +45, 18" wheel you will likely rub with the ProKit drop. It is an easy fix with a dremel and some masking tape. Line the fender lip with the tape and drive, hitting bumps, etc. You will see black marks on the tape. Hit those with the dremel. Do this only on the plastic!!! Two or three trips should do it. If you go with a 225/40/18, the rubbing will be minor. A 235/40/18 will require more work.
