    I wouldn't want to go with anything bigger. On my last Echo Hatchback, I had 17" tires with EXTREMELY low profile tires, and it reduced my gas mileage by over 10% . This is due to the additional rolling resistance as the weight is further away from the center of the wheel. (Inertia and all that, lol) Take a look at the graph on this fuelly page for my old Echo ---> http://www.fuelly.com/driver/darlo/echo It is really cool that I saw an overnight difference of +6mpg!

    Here is an image of the wheels I had on the other echo, but my tires were much smaller.....http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/3968/corewhlsqf5.jpg

    Finished blacking out the engine bay and underside of the hood. Put rear bumper and tail lights back in. Now for the door sills and gas cap tomorrow. So tired of sanding, cleaning, prepping, priming, and painting.

    Yeah. Hated to, but yeah. Blue one still ran and drove. But they both had an incredible amount of rust.

    I have a set of tow hooks from my '92 that you can have for $5 shipped. I just hammered out the welds, so you can drill the piece out and re-weld them if you wanna put them on.

    Did a little more mocking up of trailer hitch receiver. Too bad FestEvil had to have the round tow hooks instead of the flat plates like the newer cars Oh well, I'll make it work, thanks to the welder Jerry let me borrow
