Shouldn't be specified an output interface/address with the -o option? 
Moreover, I think that if you want to do source nat, you should do it in the 
POSTROUTING chain. Try this (the existence of another network card eth1 is 
presumed):

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -i eth0 -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j SNAT
--to-source 196.4.160.2
