    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.

  4. 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.
