I put 185/60R15 Michelin X-ice tires on a Pacer 83B-5641 15" rim. The rims have 8 holes so they can mount on two different lug spacings. One set of holes is the 4x100mm required for my Accent.

My 185/60R15 tire diameter (23.74") matches original tire diameter (23.68") pretty close. With this tire size difference my speedometer will read 60 mph when I'm actually traveling 60.2 mph. Not an issue.

Your 185/65R15 will be slightly bigger round (24.47"), So when your speedometer says 60 mph you will actually be going 62.0 mph.

Who did you buy the rims from? They look like the ticket for me.

 

I got them through Tirebuyer.com

 

Thanks VERY much, Wendell, much appreciated. I'm going to call them because they have no search function. Will be thrilled to be able to use these tires, although it's going to be 60 the next few days, but all in due time. Thanks!

 

Here's what I don't get;using an ugly,heavier,maybe put an ugly hubcap on for more $,STEEL wheel. There are many alloy wheels available for only $80-$120 more total price.

You fricken' buy the car for $15K-19K & for $100 your car with alloys will look good during the months you have the winter tires on,as compared to looking cheap with hubcaps. There ARE nice,sunny days during winter.

Not to be offensive,but think about it. Esp if your car came with alloys,now you can change it's appearance to something you look forward to seeing every time you walk up to it-for about $100-compared to something that makes you cringe a bit.

 

Well, glad to hear you're not offensive while you're being offensive and insulting, nutcake, but it ain't truth, beauty and justice for me, butthead. It's a stinkin' beercan 2012 Hyundai Accent that I forced the factory to give up new in exchange for the Touring wagon lemon I bought two years previous to this beer can. I wouldn't buy it to begin with it and that I even HAVE it is through the coercion I imposed upon the dealer. So if I wouldn't have written a check for this car to begin with, Kia-Mom, why the heck would I spend two red cents making it look, in your sensory perception, "better" when all I want to do is put 600.00 worth of free tires on the thing as cheaply as possible? If you're seriously involved in making these beer cans prettier, faster or somehow more appetizing, maybe you need to, I dunno, find a chick?

Not to seem offended or anything, but I don't remember asking for your help or opinion. Wendel was offering the assist on this, I have no idea where you came from.

 

play nicely, .....

 

This will stop now...
