I had not thought about the final drive from an echo... Any idea how much it would cost?

Wow 3.722:1 ratio, thats a big jump from 4.31:1 ...
I think the tire/wheel combination maybe a happy medium (esp since I was hoping to get new rims in the not to distant future). Now all i have to do it wear out these brand new stock tires so I can justify buying new ones =)

For the original poster, here are some links you may find useful if you wish to go the same route I'm planing on:
- http://www.car-videos.com/info/tirespecs.asp
- http://www.car-videos.com/tools/speedrpm.asp
Stock size is 185/60-15 w/ Final Drive of 4.31 which roughly yields 60.8MPH@3000RPM and 81.1MPH@4000RPM
Going up to 16 Inch rims:
- Tire size 205/55-16 = 63.7MPH@3000RPM and 85.0MPH@4000RPM
Not sure if that is the exact size i will go with: I wanted to stay closer to the 185-195 on width, but you get can get an idea or what to expect..
