Scion xA 2'' lowering springs... stock tires?

Would there be a problem with stock tires on a 2'' drop?

Thanks

Nope. In fact 2" is the minimum drop for an xA IMO.

I'm wanting to eventually do a drop with some 17''s just not sure how much fender gap it'll remove :D

2" is just fine, the xA's are like mini monster trucks. and 17's with a 45 series tire would work well imho

1 more question... Would lowering my car void any warranty (since i'm still paying on it or anything, or void any insurance claims if there was an accident?) just so confused with it all.

From what I understand, it will only void warrantees directly relating to the springs, and the dealer or whoever must prove that your aftermarket springs actually CAUSED the problem.

If your air conditioning stops working, for example, you are fine. There's no way the springs could have affected the AC.

anyone have any pics of the xa with DF210s? I'm riding on the Scion-provided EP-10 Spoke Alloys and tires and I'm worried, as a daily driver, if the DF210s might be too much.

duck - do you have pics of your xA on the NF210s?

Looks good... you should get 10mm wheel spacers in the back, it'll make it look way better. Is that the stock bumper? Looks different. More pics of the front end? I thought it was a Versa at first.
