Rims/Tires for 04 Echo

[blackmanbeatbopper2k]

Hi all,

I'm in need of some new summer tires for my 04 Echo. I currently have some size P185/60R15's on there. I could buy some more of those, but a friend recently wrecked his '00 Volvo S70 so I want to know if I can use his rims/summer tires. The info on those: 195/60R15. I don't know if the Echo can handle the extra width...I can't seem to find anywhere that sells tires for Echo with 195 width, so I think they likely won't fit, but any guidance would be great.

Thanks in advance for your help!

how wide are your rims?

1010tires.com has a pretty good tire size calculator....

how wide are which rims? My current rims or the Volvo rims?

looks ok to me when you compare to the 185's but look at the difference with 175/65r14, you're supposed to be within 3%

volvo rim use depends on its bolt pattern and offset....youll need 4x100 bolt pattern and about a 40mm offset.....

yeah I think i'm SOL right there. There are 5 bolts in the Volvo rim...

Thanks to everyone for their help.

But the tire size should be OK. Sell the rims & keep the tires...

[blackmanbeatbopper2k]

Awesome. I don't mean to ask much but would could I get for a rim? I doubt they would fit my current rims.

Thanks again
