I'm about to do a tire/wheel swap on my '05 XB. It's a 5spd that runs about 3k rpm @ 60 mph in top gear. I'm swapping from 185 60 15 with 15 x 6 steel wheels to 165 80 15 on 15 x 5 steel wheels(echo). Weight should be close to same or less. I'm also going to run the echo struts to keep the ride height about the same as stock. I think the low geared manual xb will benefit from this swap (mpg wise)
