Hello all,

How well would 195/60R15 tires fit on an '02 accent gl?
It is time to replace the 13-inch tires that are on the car and I happen
to have a set of fifteens laying around.

You'll need 15" wheels with the proper bolt pattern before anything
else. Then according to tirerack a 195/50 15 would fit so the 195/60s
should also.

Even if they fit, you're going to have to deal with calibrating the speedo.
Larger wheels are going to result in speedometer error on the low side. A
lot low.

On my son's 2000 Accent I used 15" steel wheels from a '96 Saturn SL1
with 195/50 tires. The tread life is incredible with these oversized
tires. The sidewalls will wear out before the tread does.

I found that easy to get used to, though my '95 Accent stands on 195/60
14-inch instead of 15-inch. They came off a '96 Lantra, so wheels which
fit that car also fit the Accent.
