If you have the 14 inch tires you can go to the 185-65-15's and you will keep the stock ride height etc..

As for the bumper I'd check with ebay or the dealer, actually ebay might be able to help you out with some different ideas for your Echo.

As long as the rims are no wider then seven inches and around a +42 offset they should be fine. On my Yaris I have 17" Rims (+40 offset) and 215/40/R17 tires.

hey bro, thx for tht! also is there a possible air intake and exhaust muffler that can give good performance? and gud roar .

my friend told me that putting alloys will have an negative impact on the fuel consumption, i thought it supposed make the vehicle light?

Yes and no on the Alloys, if you go to a wider tire it might give you a little worse milage but with a alloy wheel and 185-65-15's your milage won't change but your handling and ride will.

As for the exhaust and cold air intake I have never done those mods but I'm sure there are others on here that have that can point you in the right direction on where to find such parts...
